In many countries, the opportunities for children to play away from adults' close attention have decreased. At both school and home, protection and avoidance of harm take increasing priority. This book draws a distinction between do-good ethics and avoid-harm ethics to highlight ethical tensions and dilemmas encountered by professionals who work with children, and suggests better ways to balance these ethical dimensions in approaching risky play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRisky play is perhaps a uniquely tricky topic for educators. This short, engaging, subtly humanistic book brings a sharp ethical eye to this topical yet still underexplored dilemma. Perhaps most importantly, it invites all of us--educators, parents, regulators, and the media--to 'show our workings' to avoid rushing to judgement, but instead to take a thoughtful, balanced approach that maintains a focus on children's long-term growth and development, while respecting the adult duty of care.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eTim Gill\u003c\/b\u003e, Independent Scholar and Author of \u003ci\u003eNo Fear: Growing Up in a Risk Averse Society\u003c\/i\u003e (2007) and \u003ci\u003eUrban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities \u003c\/i\u003e(2021)\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is an incredible and timely resource on risky play for all readers!
