“You should get traffic lights and make a track for us to ride around”, to which I replied “There’s enough rules already!”

Children need to learn to navigate life safely, so we provide safe places for them to do so. Riding around courts in all different directions, being aware or their space and those around them IS A LEARNT SKILL!

Falling down and getting back up again, IS A LEARNT SKILL.

Stopping or turning to avoid an accident (or conflict) IS A LEARNT SKILL!

Putting on their own safety gear (or at least having a go) instead of waiting for an adult to come and save them (and do it all for them while they stand like scarecrows) IS A LEARNT SKILL!

The kids learn so much by navigating their way around a court on the edge of complete fear or fearlessness, and it is a beautiful thing.

Such a great bunch of kids so far these holidays, quite literally they rose from fearful to fearless in five minutes!
