The Benefits of Risky Play – Rachel Larimore

How can we stop shielding kids from nature and help them explore it safely? Nature-based educator/author/consultant Rachel Larimore, of Samara Early Learning, explains how to better manage beneficial risky play.

As a founder of Chippewa Nature Center Preschool in Midland, Michigan, Rachel has years of experience working with parents, teachers and children in a nature-based setting. She’s also just released an online video course on risky play, complete with helpful forms and worksheets that schools can immediately put to use.
