Harness the learning Power of Risky Play in the Early Years.

Now, more than ever, children need to develop autonomy and decision-making skills. Too often in Early Years settings, opportunities for learning through risky play are missed. In this book, Zoe Sills and Sarah Watkins support you to overcome the barriers to embedding and allowing space for risky play in your setting.

*Know the value of Risky Play
*Create a learning environment that encourages and supports Risky Play
*Feel confident to allow the time and space for Risky Play
*Develop a better understanding of risk and learning.

Children know what they need for their bodies and minds. Through self-directed play, children naturally challenge themselves. They test their physical and emotional boundaries as part of cognitive and physical development. We should be supporting this child-led learning in the Early Years, not limiting it. This book helps you to do this - to harness the learning power of Risky Play.
