This week on the Natural Super Kids podcast we are talking about risk-taking, risky play, and risky activities in kids. Back in January, I shared some stories on Instagram about my children jetty jumping, and it led to a conversation about how parents feel about risky activities such as jetty jumping, most parents said risky activities made them very nervous.
So I thought I would touch on this topic of conversation further, and dive deeper on the benefits of risky play. In this episode, I share:
- What is risky play;
- The big reason I prefer my children to take risks when I am around;
- I dive deeper into the 6 categories of risky play which include:
- Great heights;
- Rapid speeds;
- Dangerous tools;
- Dangerous elements;
- Rough and tumble;
- Disappearing or getting lost;
- The benefits of risky play;
- The teenage brain when it comes to seeking out risky behaviour.
