Risk in Childhood Development (with Japanese Dictionary)

 Every year on playgrounds in the United States, about 200,000 children suffer injuries severe enough to require a hospital visitMost are caused by falls from, or forceful contact with, playground equipmentOrganizations like Safe Kids Worldwide are working to minimize the dangers children encounter in play spaces. At their urgingwood and steel equipment is being replaced with plastic and rubber structures, and the ground underneath it is covered with sandshredded rubber, or other materials that cushion impactsBoth the play environment and playtime have also become more structured and supervised, with some places introducing laws barring children from playing in parks alone.

 On the other hand, some parents, teachers, and scientists view a certain amount of risk in playgrounds and other spaces as being healthier for children’s long­term development than sheltering them from injury is. Nga Nguyen, a biologist who studies primates at California State University, Fullerton, asserts that risk in play environments “is a vital part of our animal/primate heritage. It is through our engagement with risk… that we learn how to use our bodies safely to interact with the physical and social challenges in the environment.”

 Proponents of a growing worldwide movement to introduce higher levels of risk back into children’s playtime hope this change will counter the tendency toward overprotecting children. They promote spaces like “adventure playgrounds,” which encourage potentially hazardous activities such as building campfires or constructing things with bricks. Some schools are even making workbenches, complete with hammers and saws, available to childrenThose who support such changes argue risk is necessary for healthy childhood developmentsince it involves facing challengesproblem­solvingdecision­making, pushing limits, and building self­esteem and courage.

 These factors are also behind the growing “free­range parenting” movement in the United States, which supports giving children greater independence by encouraging them to walk and ride public transportation alonespend more time outside, and pursue their own interests. The trend drew public attention some years ago whenfamily in the state of Maryland was investigated for child neglect because the parents had allowed their kidsthen aged six and ten, to walk 1.6 kilometers home from a park by themselvesThough the charges were ultimately dropped, the case brought awareness to laws restricting children’s independenceCommenting on this situationsupporters of free­range parenting say this way of raising children was common for most of the twentieth century, and is still accepted in many cultures worldwide.
