CHAPTER

The Balance of Risk and Resilience

This chapter explores the importance of giving children the freedom to experience unsupervised play as a means of fostering resilience and independence.

Using the analogy of learning to ride a bike, the discussion emphasizes the necessity of allowing risks to cultivate problem-solving abilities and emotional processing.
