Risky play is a huge thing in early childhood Fishing I’m a hooker on the weekends shirt. More and more daycares and schools are allowing kids to use sharp scissors, have outdoor playgrounds that are not flattened and bubble wrapped but with natural hills for kids to tumble down, old logs and trees to climb, etc. We used to have our schools open. No fences. About two years ago, a kindergartener wandered off the school property into an adjoining neighborhood and drowned in a pool. All the schools in the district became fenced for the safety of the children. We lost one, we didn’t want to lose another. I totally agree with you and I let my kids learn from experience and to try everything and food and everything in life.
