An example of children playing an active role, is where for instance one child notices another child about to embark upon a dangerous endeavour such as climbing up a fence, or running on icy ground. The child who notices this situation can then report back to an adult of the impending danger, and that adult can then take appropriate steps to remove the danger. In this
