Educators as Supporters of Risky Play and the Benefits of Healthy Risk-Taking | March 7, 21 & April 4, 2019 6:30pm- 8:00pm |
|
How are you providing experiences that support healthy risk and challenges for young children? As educators, we are aware of the need for children to take healthy risks, and the benefits and challenges that go with it. When given the chance to engage freely in adventurous play they quickly learn to assess their own skills and match them to the demands of the environment. How do we provide environments that allow children to engage in risk-taking play that contributes to their in-depth problem solving and critical thinking skills?
If this sparks your curiosity, join us in this three-part interactive series that will support your practice.You will experience the joys and benefits of risky play, engage in dialogue and recognize how your own attitudes may inhibit children’s opportunities for risk-taking, as well as challenge your own thinking lens. Part One: What is Risk and no Risk?
Part Two: Play – What is it all about?
Part Three: Making Connections
Commitment to all three session is required. Facilitator: Serena LeChat, RECE |
