About this book
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.

*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.

This book helps you to do this - to harness the learning power of Risky Play.
