"It is so refreshing to have the opportunity to complete training on risky play. Too often, Educators are still so uncertain of providing these opportunities for children. Rather than viewing the image of the child as capable and competent, too often adults are concerned about protecting children from what they view as potential harm? Thank you for sharing this course with everyone!"
