I went to Forest school with a group of 3-4 year olds last year and there was loads of dangers there!:flamed:
It was scary as they taught the children to start a fire - although toasting the marshmallows made up for it! - but the leader pointed out that many children have never experienced a real fire and therefore were not respectful of it. They did not worry about how a fire might hurt them as they had not felt its warmth (when sitting a safe distance away, obviously!). After we had made the fire and were sitting around it, the children suggested their own rules to keep safe - don't walk too close in case you trip, use a long stick for the marshmallows so our fingers don't get too hot etc

So I suppose my point is... children need opportunities to do activities which aren't 'completely safe' so that they learn to understand danger We mustn't wrap our children up in cotton wool - they need to bump their knees (not badly!) as they jump from a climbing frame to appreciate that height needs assessment and that we need to bend our knees on landing etc

Hope you're feeling better

Thanks thats interesting im going to look it up on line and see what i can find
