Risky Play Research Report: Becky Gates Children's Center
Abstract
This research report investigates parents with children attending Becky Gates
Children Center (BGCC) located in College Station, Texas on their perspectives on
children's risky play. The problem with the risky play is it can bring questions and
worries from parents, especially for programs or child centers that encourage
children to engage in such behaviors. This study aims to understand parents' stance
on risky play with an emphasis on rough and tumble play behaviors during children's
play interactions. To the best of our knowledge, a limited number of studies have
examined specific influences on parents' attitudes towards RTP as a form of risky
play between children. This report centers on the key demographic information from
parents and children, risk tolerance, specific domains of risk, and key themes/ideas
from the selected open-ended responses on risks and rough and tumble play
