Overview

This book is an invitation to you, the educator, parent, or caregiver, to embrace risky play. You don't need expensive materials or elaborate setups. What you need is a mindset shift: from control to observation, from fear to curiosity, from saying no to asking, ""What's your plan?"" Because when we allow children to take risks, we also allow them to grow. In early childhood education, the phrase ""be careful!"" echoes across playgrounds, classrooms, and outdoor spaces. It's an instinct that comes from love, protection, and responsibility. Yet what if, rather than pulling children back from every challenge, we paused, trusted, and allowed them to move forward into the unknown?
