Play is magic. Childhood should be magical. Let’s bring back childhood and let it be what it was meant to be all along. I’m going on tour in 2026 around the US to reach even more educators than I can by doing private training days! I may be coming to a city near you! Limited tickets available for each location (like 25 - maybe more of a few places) so if you want first dibs you’ve got to be on the waiting list! I’ll send it to the waitlist first! Locations to be announced soon!! Comment ROADIE t

So last night during my $9 uncomfy play training (all about risky play, rough and tumble play, morbid play, power play and destructive play), I asked all of the attendees to tell me their favorite memory as a child and where they were. Then I asked if any adults were present. NOONE had adults present during their best childhood memories and over 95% of those memories took place outdoors with an element of risk involved. Where was you best childhood memory? Were there adults present? Was any risk

Research on risky play shows just how safe playing with sticks actually is: a child would need to spend around three hours a day in risky play for ten years before they’re statistically likely to experience an injury that requires medical treatment (Outside Play Study, summarized in Boston University Children’s Center, 2020). Children neeeeed risk. all children need risky play in early childhood because it’s the only way they learn how their bodies work, how far they can go, and how to get back

I know. I know there are so many schools and centers where teachers aren’t “allowed” to let children climb that high or wrestle that hard or pick up the stick sword from the playground floor. You may look at my IG feed and either cringe or wish you could allow these things, but risky play isn’t all or nothing. There are levels to this. Children can get the same developmental benefits from a level 3 risk that they’d get from a level 8. Walking across a balance beam on the ground still builds coor

Risk looks different to everyone. For one child it’s climbing the monkey bars backwards, for another it’s walking across a log, and for another it’s building a tower taller than their head. Our thresholds are not the same, yours, mine, theirs, and that’s okayyyy. But, we can’t eliminate all risk without also eliminating the growth that comes from it. Children learn judgment by testing the edge. They learn resilience by wobbling and trying again. They learn confidence by getting a little scared a

But I want you to know The Play Tour isn’t just a day of PD. It’s the result of 15 years of studying, teaching, experimenting, and living this work.

The great debate. To do or not to do circle time. When done in a developmentally appropriate way, it can be engaging for young children. When memorization is the expected outcome, it is a waste of precious play time! And keep it short! 15 minutes or less is ideal #preschoolteacher #circletime #playbasedlearning #calendartime #learningthroughplay #childdevelopment
