Risk willingness in play: Exploring children’s behaviour in a virtual reality playground
Understanding children’s willingness to take risks is crucial for sound educational strategies and play environments. This study investigates children’s risk willingness using a virtual reality (VR) playground balancing scenario and examines its associations with sensation-seeking personality trait, age, gender, and the likelihood of failing the VR scenario. The sample included 344 children aged 7–10 years. Results showed that risk willingness – …
The Structure of Challenging Parenting Behavior in Norwegian Parents to Children in Middle Childhood (7–10 years)
Challenging parenting behavior (CPB), which emphasizes playful encouragement to push the child’s limits and controlled exposure to risk, represents a novel approach to parenting. This study aimed to explore the psychometric properties of the Challenging Parenting Behavior Questionnaire 7-12 (CPBQ7-12) in a Norwegian sample, examining relations to parents’ sex and age. Participants were recruited from four elementary schools in Norway through a co…

Early Childhood Teachers’ Support of Children’s Play in Nature-Based Outdoor Spaces—A Systematic Review
Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) places value and benefits on children’s play in nature-based outdoor spaces. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding teachers’ support of play in environments with rugged terrains and natural materials. Therefore, this systematic review aims to locate, present, and discuss research literature on how teachers in ECEC settings can support children’s play in nature-based outdoor spaces. According to …
Risky play in children's emotion regulation, social functioning, and physical health: An Evolutionary Approach
The focus of this theoretical paper is to explore three biopsychosocial levels of children’s risky play: (1) mental health and emotion regulation, (2) social functioning and challenging norms, and (3) physical health and development. As such, in this paper, we expand Sandseter’s and Kennair’s focus in their original article in 2011 on the evolved function of risky play as an anti-phobic mechanism, and consider other types of risk than physical ri…
Associations between Children’s Risky Play and Ecec Outdoor Play Spaces and Materials
Children spend a large amount of time each day in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions, and the ECEC play environments are important for children's play opportunities. This includes children's opportunities to engage in risky play. This study examined the relationship between the outdoor play environment and the occurrence of children's risky play in ECEC institutions. Children ( n = 80) were observed in two-minute sequences dur…
Risky Play and Children’s Well-Being, Involvement and Physical Activity
Children's activities and experiences in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) institutions are essential for children's present and future lives. Playing is a vital activity in childhood, and playing is found to be positively related to a variety of outcomes among children. In this study, we investigated how risky play – a fundamentally voluntary form of play – related to children's well-being, involvement and physical activity. Results from…
Affordances for 1- to 3-year-olds’ risky play in Early Childhood Education and Care
This article focuses on how Early Childhood Education and Care institutions provide for 1- to 3-year-olds’ risky play—a previously little researched topic—utilizing data from an exploratory, small-scale study investigating aspects of risky play in the age-group. The main findings describe how three essentially different Early Childhood Education and Care centers provide different opportunities for risky play. These environments are assessed with …
