Thank you @raisingwildflowerkids for this incredible video!
risky play is the upmost important to children’s physical, psychological, and emotional development.

Every child should have an “outdoor childhood” can’t convince me otherwise! Nothing like bug finding, stick carving, mud pie making, creek crossing, swing making, and swimming! Boredom is the mother of invention. Let our babies brains work away and have a hot home cooked meal waiting for them at the end of their play ❤
Absolutely
I’ve meet grown ass 16 year old kids scared to jump off a rock into water, it says allot about how they grew up
God sent His Angels to protect me so many times. 🙏❤
When we visited my aunt and uncle on the Rez in Northern Idaho, I'd tell someone I was taking the dog for a walk up in the hills. I'd leave after breakfast and wander, but I made sure I was back by lunch. I'd head back out and come back for dinner. I already knew how to tell direction by the sun's position. I always took note of landmarks (dead trees, a group of birches, an old logging path). I also turned to look at the way I'd come so I'd recognize it heading back. I did this for many summers, and I never got hurt. Yes, I carried a whistle and deliberately made noise in case the local black bear was nearby. Blackie didn't mess with people since he liked wandering over to the housing dumpster out by the main road for his meals.
I always said I raised my kids "free range".
Damn this is exactly the childhood we thought every western kid had. Even we had similar one, we dreamed something like this
Same risk taking is taught through chess. Managing risk is a crucial developmental stage
This child needs to be locked away in a padded room... Not left to run free in the wild... Its far too risky... 😮
