Risking Child Development

First, the need for physical risk during child. In, Should children be allowed to play dangers sports? It says, “In her common sense view, she puts forth an important instrumental good, the need for physical risk during child development, as a means to educate children how to handle physical threats they may encounter later in life.” This means that they learn about physical threats that

Also it is important that children have the opportunities to experience risk and challenge play as this is important for children's and young people's play and learning. It is important that children and young people are given the opportunities for risk and challenge play as it will help give children a better understanding of what is safe and unsafe such as if they was to touch something hot they will know not to do it again because they will know they will burn them self. Some parents do not let their children take risk and challenges as they think its to dangerous for the children. When practitioners provide opportunities for risk and challenge play it is important that it is taken place in a safe environment. Also when risk and challenge

If a child has a feeling of control in them and their lives then there confidence and self esteem will be lifted and this will help their behaviour. If a child is given the chance to make their own decisions they will feel important and in charge helping how they act. “Play should empower children, affirm and support their right to make choices, discover their own solutions, to play and develop at their own pace and in their own way.”

Before watching this Ted Talk by Gever Tulley, I did wonder why would you let your child do anything dangerous. I figured this guy has a lot of convincing to do. Then it hit me, I would be “those types of parents that over-guard their child and keep them from danger only to “protect them” After watching, I can say that I was wrong and I should let my child experience these encounters on their own to increase their learning capabilities. By doing this it would help the child learn and grow from their mistakes. I could be keeping my child away from all the possible experiences that life brings to us and they would not be able to learn own their own because of me shielding them away from these

For some people, sports and other activities are seen as essential for children to participate in. In certain cases, parents may tend to push their children into a ridiculous amount of activities leading to different effects on the children. For other parents, their children’s involvement in activities is very important, but rather than pushing their children, they encourage them to try new things. With this encouragement, these parents see having fun as the number one reason for activities rather than competition. In the article, “Kids’ Sports: Too Much Pressure,” Amy Miller suggest that making an activity or sport seem too competitive could have a huge number of effects on a child and that having fun should be what all sports and activities

“The theory risk homeostasis holds that you can make the playground safer, but children will just make increasingly risky moves,” says Pamela Paul in the New York Times article “Regrets of an Accomplished Child”. In this quote she compares the aforementioned theory of risk homeostasis with intellectual risk, stating how risk and accomplishment are by human instinct balanced out. However, in the situations of many students such as I this instinct is overrode by the fear failure. While this fear of risk is mandatory it is also necessary to combat it with a certain level of curiosity.

In this writing it will be discussing childhood development, as well as some vital issues that might come along during those stages of development. Child development consist of the stage where the child is developing physically, cognitively, socially and spiritually. During these stages of development a child is maturing from infancy to becoming a young adult. For many years theorist such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, and Lev Vygotsky’s have researched how children mature from infants to adulthood. Each of the theorist have profound facts to how children develop, but which of the three men are correct on their findings?

There are many types of play that are likely to lead to unintentional childhood injuries and hospitalization for children worldwide. Unintentional injury is ranked in the top 15 causes of death across all children aged 0 – 19 years, with falls, burns, accidental poisoning, drowning and road traffic injuries being the most common. Those individuals who are from more deprived backgrounds are known to have higher levels of injury morbidity and mortality. “Injury prevention plays a key role in promoting children’s safety, which is considered to involve keeping children free from the occurrence or risk of injury” (Brussoni et al., 2012). Some research did show that if parents or caregivers put too many restrictions of the children’s risky outdoor play time, they may be obstructing their development. Play time is critical to a child’s development and to their physical and mental health, putting the children at risks as such obesity, lack of learning, decrease in independences and poor perception and judgement skills. Parents, the media, popular culture, and researchers all have different views on child safety and overprotection of children. Every parent has their own view on how they want to raise their child, some are overprotective over their children and others allow their children to have play

When working with children , on a day to day basis they are always acquiring new skills and challenging themselves , taking risks in doing so. Children love exploring and when they see something that could be dangerous , they love taking the risk, so it is important as a teacher or assistant to manage the risks but also allowing them to explore for themselves , this is showing best practice cause not only are you letting the individuals acquire new life skills and challenge risky situations you are allowing them their independence but also manage the risks that they are about to take before they happen so that no one is going to come to any harm.

Despite numerous studies that show the importance of risk taking in the development of children, nowadays, very few are the playgrounds which provide opportunities for risk and a relative danger. A difference has to be made between the idea of risk and the one of danger. In fact, if danger has to be avoided, risk in a playground is essential to children development, it is what will help them to adapt and be prepared to an unexpected environment when they will grow up. Brick Lane Playscape project is about designing a playground which implements the notions of risk and wilderness in the urban context of Brick Lane, London, to allow children to challenge themselves and to go wild as much as they want. Due to its prominent location, close to Liverpool

When you hear Child Development you think of Children and the way they’re raised. When in reality Child Development is way more than that. Child Development is the biological, physical, and emotional changes that occur between birth and the end of adolescence. Child development is a continuous movement with the child. Early Childhood programs promote child development in their curriculums which is based off of the child care center’s education philosophy.

Early childhood development meant may be defined as the critical years of education for toddlers. During these years they become increasingly aware of their surrounds and the behavior. Children will adapt to the behaviors which are visual to them. During these years child absorb more information than the average adult over a 4 year span. This is because their sole purpose is to learn and grow. As parents, we have to be very aware of the surrounds and things we present them with. Behavior learned now will carry out. The question of teaching them moral ethics at this point is a controversial issue.

Modern-day, stresses and nerves – and, it ought to be said, an open-air world which truly is less youngster amicable than ever before – has prompted a hazard opposed a culture that discovers expression in oppressive well-being and security arrangements which neglect to measure the advantages of a given movement against the dangers included. Suppliers of kids' play areas, in a similar manner as numerous open administrations, are in dread in case of even minor scratches. So they progressively blunder in favour of alert, putting intensely in effect retaining surfaces and gear that thoroughly meets well-being gauges yet regularly needs genuine play value.Free and unstructured play in the outside lifts critical thinking abilities, centre and self-restraint. Socially, it enhances participation, adaptability, and mindfulness. Enthusiastic advantages incorporate diminished animosity and expanded happiness.Children will be more quick-witted, better ready to coexist with others, more beneficial and more joyful when they have normal open doors for nothing and unstructured play in the out-of-entryways. In a current study a third of kids believed that there was a leaf that can soothe a nettle sting; as per the review, more than seventy-percent of the youngsters that participated in the research have never climbed a tree. Abominable! Ask anybody more than forty to relate to you their most loved recollections of adolescence play, and few will be inside. Less still will include a grown-up.

The developmental theories can not be more evident than during the out of class assignment at the daycare facility. During this independent assignment, I was able to observe and interact with pre-school children in an environment that is both encouraging and facilitating to a child’s developmental growth. So, just as Piaget in his developmental theory believed that children takes an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world; the pre-school teachers allowed them to do just that. Indeed, the teachers at the day care provided room for the child to learn and explore while at the same time adhering to a structure that set boundaries and limitations. Thus, the pre-school children, begrudgingly, learns to follow a meticulous schedule of activities and rest.

Child development is complex because it is influenced by a wide range of factors such as culture. A child’s culture begins to influence them long before they are born. Parents from around the world hold different beliefs and raise their children in unique ways. Cultural norms can greatly affect which values parents consider important and how they share those values with children (Christensen, 2013). The timing of the development of certain skills and characteristics in children, depends on the importance the culture places on them (Buechner, 2015). For example, a good deal of value is placed on academics in many Eastern cultures, and so children spend many hours each day on math and science activities from the time they are very young. But, in the United States children are given a great deal more freedom to express themselves and experiment with things, because we as a society place value on creativity and innovation (O’Sullivan, 2016). In the U.S., the nuclear family is considered the ideal structure for raising children, but in countries like Japan and India, extended family and community members take a much larger role in child care and parenting (Christensen, 2013). Because each child is unique, caregivers need to form partnerships with families in order to meet the developmental and educational needs of their students. According to Copple and Bredekamp (2009) by understanding a child’s culture, early childhood professionals can “make classroom decisions that are
