A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Young children have only a limited understanding of the risks that surround them, so they bang their heads, scrape their knees, burn their fingers, and worse. A popular response is to try and create a risk-free environment for them, and never to let them out of sight. But this isn't necessarily the best solution. It leaves children without the skills to manage risk and makes it difficult for them to judge situations for themselves. Too Safe For Their Own Good? is a practical guide that shows how adults can share their own skills with young children and teach them important lessons of safety in a caring, supervised environment that is not closed off from the outside world. The book looks at: - putting risk into perspective - how children learn to take care of themselves - how to support children after accidents and avoiding preventable accidents - working in partnership with parents.
