ASEM documentary overview
Official Canadian Paediatric Society document (2024) on “Healthy childhood development through outdoor risky play: Navigating the balance with injury prevention”. Free play is essential for children’s development and for their physical, mental, and social health. Opportunities to engage in outdoor free play—and risky play in particular—have declined significantly in recent years, in part because safety measures have sought to prevent all play-related injuries rather than focusing on serious and fatal injuries. Risky play is defined by thrilling and exciting forms of free play.
