Risky Play: What Happens When Kids Are Not Risky?
Martyna Figueiredo
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v17 n1 p38-41 2025
Risky play is climbing, high-speed activities, dangerous exploration, dangerous elements, rough and tumble, and disappearing experiences. There are three primary barriers to risky play: the introduction of electronics, building safer playgrounds in new urban-designed cities, and parent involvement in overscheduling activities have been hindering children from participating in risky play. Three solutions to these problems are phone-free-schools, child-centred playgrounds, and opportunities for risky play in schools during the day. This paper accesses information from a variety of sources that include virtual and text referencing.
