Description
Adventurous Play - Supporting Risky Play
Join our live online webinar from Natural Learning Australia, where our expert consultants, trained by Niki Buchan, will bring you this ever popular session through the convenience of online delivery.
In a risk averse culture true play opportunities have become limited, playgrounds have become over supervised, over structured, over safe and often in danger of becoming BORING! In this motivational session we will investigate and share environments that promote and indeed encourage children to play, to be engaged, to challenge themselves, to take emotional, social and physical risks. In encouraging this play educators can support and enhance children’s wellbeing and self-confidence.
We will explore the difference between good and bad risk and hazard in the social childhood context and how best to manage these. It is vital that we identify and document not just the risks but also the benefits of opportunities, not all hazards can be identified, and adults need to be skilled and alert at dynamically assessing risk allowing children’s play to flow.
