Parental Attitudes to Risky Play and Children’s Independent Mobility: Public Health Implications for Children in Ireland
This study presents a descriptive analysis of findings from the Ireland State of Play Survey. Findings indicate that although parents recognise the benefits of risky play, there is some contradiction between parental attitudes and actual practices, with a lack of willingness or confidence in permitting their children to participate in all such activities.
