The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast Ginny Yurich

Developmental psychologist Dr. Mariana Brussoni joins us to discuss the critical importance of risky play for children's development! Dr. Brussoni explains how injuries are the leading cause of death for children, but avoiding risk entirely is not the solution. Instead, she advocates for a balanced approach to risk that acknowledges its benefits for development.
Dr. Brussoni emphasizes that risk should be viewed neutrally, not as something inherently negative. She outlines different types of risky play, including play at heights, with speed, with dangerous tools, and rough-and-tumble play, and explains why these activities are crucial for children's physical and emotional growth. Risky play helps children become more active, navigate uncertainty, and cope with strong emotions like thrill and excitement.
The episode also delves into societal and parental fears around risky play, including the pressure to conform to other parents' expectations and the influence of intensive parenting. Dr. Brussoni introduces the 17-second rule, encouraging parents to pause before intervening in their child's play, promoting thoughtful decision-making over fear-driven reactions.
Listeners will learn about the significant benefits of risky play, such as improved mental health, obesity prevention, and enhanced social skills. Dr. Brussoni discusses the importance of outdoor play for children's development, including its impact on literacy and numeracy. She also highlights the role of loose parts like rocks, mud, and sticks in keeping play engaging and beneficial.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the critical role of grandparents in fostering outdoor play and the importance of ensuring that every child gets outside every day. Dr. Brussoni's insights provide a compelling case for rethinking our approach to children's play and embracing the positive aspects of risk.
