Summer of Play Series (Part 3): Bold & Brave Play – Risk, Weapons, & Destructive

This third and final webinar in the Summer of Play series takes a courageous look at the kinds of play that often make adults pause — risky climbs, superhero battles, stick swords, crashing towers, and the thrill of breaking things apart. Far from being “bad behavior,” these forms of play are essential to how children test limits, build resilience, and make sense of their world.
 
We’ll explore:
Why risk-taking play matters for confidence, problem solving, and self-regulation
The role of weapon play in imagination, power, and understanding boundaries
How destructive play supports creativity, cause-and-effect learning, and emotional release
Practical ways to support these forms of play safely, without shutting down children’s natural drive to explore
 
This session is for educators, parents, and caregivers who want to reframe “brave play” not as something to fear, but as a powerful driver of growth. By the end, you’ll leave with strategies to support children’s need for bold play while maintaining safety, trust, and connection.
