Say yes to adventure playgrounds

1小时突破音标重难点

At a place called "The Land" in Wales, the ground is full of pieces of wood, rocks, old tires and packing boxes. It looks like a junkyard, but it isn't. It's a playground.

"The Land" was created by Claire Griffiths, who has two children of her own. She wanted to build a space where children could play the way they wanted and experiment with different things, without a lot of rules.

Playgrounds in schools and parks are usually built to be as safe as possible. But safe playgrounds have not really made much of a difference in the number of accidents. In fact, there have been more accidents where children have broken an arm or a leg. Some experts believe that this is because children aren't as careful when they play on safe playgrounds. Meanwhile, children are missing out on the good things that risky play can teach them.

So letting children do things that seem a little dangerous — like climbing trees, riding bikes really fast, playing near water — actually teaches them how to stay safe. When children have small accidents, they learn how to recognize danger and avoid worse accidents. Children who are allowed to take some risks become more confident and independent. They get better at climbing, balancing and other physical skills. They also get better at problem-solving and teamwork.

Some adventure playgrounds are now being built in Canada. With high climbing objects and things like rope walkways, they are expected to bring back risky play for children.
