Problem and Learning

Evaaaaaa's picture

Play can always be problematic. In play-fighting children sometimes get too excited and hurt their friends accidentally. Children also love to play in dangerous areas, which again could hurt themselves. But these problems are also part of learning to control their bodies and to deal with problems - problems are part of learning. Even though these danger look like problems they actually are not.
