GEKA Murrumbeena How do we balance risk with safety at kindergarten?, 6 key factors to risky play, “…the more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves. If you never let them, take any risks, then I believe they become very prone to injury. Boys should be allowed to climb tall trees and walk along the tops of high walls and dive into the sea from high rocks… The same with girls. I like the type of child who takes risks. Better by far than the one who never does so.”, ― Roald Dahl
