I love this conversation. Risky play used to be a natural part of childhood. So glad that it is something we are incorporating into their play spaces again.
Rock climbing assessment for my age group of 2.5 to 3 years old i would have some concerns with some of my group. May be a rope with knots that is ty to a tree for support and helmets for some with less control. My area has very little risk taking on the playground but a tunnel that the children like to climb up on and jump off. I tell the child if you can climb up by yourself you can jump off. So they run around looking for things to stand on, ways to pull themself up on top and how to balance on their feet to jump off. When they do there great joy on their faces.
Risky pay is so important and soooo much fun seeing what the children are capable of.

This was vey informational module learned a lot of knowledge about risky play. So I can be more supportive of risky play in our program.
I love risky play. This is where you see how strong is the character of a child and determine his growth and development. Yes, it needs a lot of support and guidance. However, when the child successfully do it and you let him decide for himself while letting him know of the pros and cons of his decision, that child will surely develop fully their self esteem to challenge himself more of his competency.
