In this episode of Horizon, Monica Mukherjee, Head of Early Years Support at Wellington College China and Charlotte Knight-Benjafield, Executive Head of Early Years at Wellington and Huili Shanghai, discuss why positive risk taking is so important to a child’s development. Risky play, Monica explains, is not the same thing as dangerous play. In fact, positive risk-taking benefits children in countless areas of development, from balance and coordination to greater autonomy and self-confidence. Watch as they share practical tips on how you can help your child grow by empowering them to take calculated risks through play.
