Introduce Danger Into Their Play

In Psychologist Jordan Peterson's bestselling book, “12 Rules for Life” one rule is, “Don’t bother children when they are skateboarding.” In this episode Dr. Tim Thayne talks about the importance of introducing risk in children's play. There are numerous benefits for children when they aren’t put in bubble wrap, but allowed to grow physically and mentally healthier, more confident and better able to assess risk moving forward. He talks about the adventure playground movement that started in Europe and spread to America.  Surprisingly, these playgrounds weren’t only used more, they also logged less injuries.
