If we worried about hurting ourselves all the time we’d never get out of bed… But the benefits of getting out of bed, out of the house, of living our lives are worth it!
We know that many teachers and practitioners are worried about taking children outside the classroom. They worry about what might happen, and about being blamed if things go wrong.
Yet we also know that children benefit hugely from spending time out of doors. Learning and playing outside can be especially powerful for children who struggle in the more structured environment of the classroom.
The truth is that much of children’s learning and growth involves a degree of risk. This e-book, written by one of the world’s leading experts on childhood and risk Tim Gill, will help you address the risks and keep the benefits front and centre.
