𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞    ━━    weather.

rain.   melancholy at best,   introspective,   severely misunderstood,   pleasure in the subdued,   helping in your own way,   dreams in poetry,   the slowness of falling asleep,   refreshing meditation.

sun.   sun-bleached clothes,   futures that are too bright,   everything at arm’s length,   balancing intensity,   blind encouragement,   comfort of sleep,   distracting sunspots in your vision,   necessity of growth.

storm.   chaos with a purpose,   emotions running high,   natural comfortable anarchy,   high volume,   leaving your mark,   brief flashes of violence,   rambling quickly,   the intensity of desire.

wind.   running towards instead of away,   instinctive motivation,   making an impact,   knows everyone who knows anyone,   playful pranks,   mood swings in a split second,   collecting old trinkets,   uncontrollable focus.

snow.   serene on the surface,   cold blooded heart,   love it or hate it attitude,   good memories,   heavy discussions,   sharp determination,   relentless resolve,   not as scary as it seems.

though married in the summer of 1934, it would be another 7 years before the carr couple added to their family; not out of a difficulty to conceive, or a change in finances, but because it simply felt like time. at the time of wendy's birth, evelyn was 32 and charles 35, late bloomer parents, and both were well-established in their respective careers, evelyn as a university professor (english literature) and the dean of women for hillyer college, while charles was rising through the legal ranks, having been recently promoted from state's attorney for hartford county to an assistant united states attorney.

being the only child of mr. and mrs. carr was a lonesome experience for wendy. though the two always encouraged their daughter academically, and tried their hardest to be as emotionally present for her as they could, they both worked long hours, and had a tendency to bring work home with them. neither were particularly physically affectionate with her, despite being so with each other. she was treated like a grown-up from a very young age––partly as a sign of respect towards their daughter, but also because neither of the pair were exactly nurturing by nature.

she was always encouraged to be a critical thinker, to ask questions, to think outside of the box. the carr household was a progressive one, especially for the time; parties and luncheons were regularly thrown, where the attendees could range from professors to politicians to philosophers. rather than being brought to the park or on playdates with other children her age, wendy was brought to the opera, to museum and art exhibitions – they wanted to breed in their daughter an appreciation for culture and enlightenment.

they had surmised about her sexuality from about her teenage years onwards (evelyn suspected first, but it was charles that wendy first confided in, during her final year of college), and though they had been a little awkward in their acceptance, they had accepted her. the carrs are proud of what their daughter has achieved, and who she has become, but it was somewhat expected of her; that she would pursue academia, remain curious and determined, be successful.

Risk Benefit Assessment in Play in the Early Years.

Risky play can be defined as a thrilling and exciting experience that involves a risk of injury but more importantly offers children opportunities for challenge, testing limits, exploring  boundaries and learning about managing risks.

Jean- Jacques Rousseau was a great proponent for Risky Play and,  he suggested that Risky Play helped children learn about their world, test out what is and is not possible; learning about making mistakes ; discover new things about their space, place and their environment.

Children are able to learn to recognize and evaluate the challenges and decide on the course of action they would take when they indulge in Risky Play.

Risky Play

Risky play helped create self initiated experiences in nature which helped perpetuate a child's inborn goodness. Risky play , Rousseau suggested, acted as a tool through which children  were able to exercise their judgment , using these  sensory experiences and contact with things.

Risky play also contributes to a child's sense of " Self Efficacy", which develops through experiential play and learning, is influenced by encouragement and feedback from others and is related to numerous interpersonal outcomes for children.

Benefits

Children need to practice risky play in order to be able to handle risk in their lives. Practicing to deal with risks in their play would help them to asses a situation and overcome the problems themselves.

Risky Play gives children the opportunity to extend their limits and learn life skills. Success and failure provide children with the motivation to try again and work out different ways . 

Parents and Educators role: Assessment and Promotion

Early learning Students and teachers need to teach children safe ways of doing things and develop positive attitude towards this type of play.. They need to create an environment that is " safe enough for children to act on, transform, seek out challenges and take risks".
