Empowering Children
Event description
Saying 'YES' to Risk
Join the Educated by Nature team in this 2 hour workshop for educators, parents and students.
Educated by Nature are intentional
about creating space and actively
supporting children to experience risky
play. We model positive, empowering
and confidence-building language that
supports children to take risks. This is coupled with the provision of time
and space for children to experience
their environment and make necessary
decisions to navigate risk. When we
trust in children’s abilities and provide
opportunities for investigation and
engagement with risk, they unlock their
innate learning potential. This workshop
explores the concept of risk in children’s
play and parent perceptions of risk.
Ellen Sandseters’ six types of risky play
are outlined with discussion about the
ways in which these can be used in
various child-based settings to support
deep engagement and authentic play
opportunities. The hands-on section of
the workshops allows for discussion on
benefit-risk assessment preparation and
challenges in implementation of risky
play.
