Schools are banning tag and bullrush. Parents are stopping their children from climbing trees. Kim Dungey asks what's going on.
Cotton Wool Kids as an example (1)

Should this be
stopped?

As a girl, Melissa Bremner would often
disappear for hours on end but the Dunedin mother would "have a fit" if her own boys proposed doing the same.
"You need to know these days where they are," she says.
"It's a sad fact." Like other parents, Bremner struggles with
how to keep her children safe while letting them take risks and have adventures.

A recent study in the United Kingdom showed
children were less likely to play outside than their parents were when they were growing up.
Half of children aged 7 to 12 were not allowed to climb a tree without adult supervision and 17% had been banned from playing tag .
Without an adult present, a third were not allowed to ride a bike to a friend's house and 42% were not allowed to play at their local park.
However, three-quarters of children were allowed to surf the Internet unsupervised.

Can internet surfing
be dangerous ?
![Page 20: Year 13 PE Research Assignment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164f6550346895dd7622d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Safety concerns have also seen some schools
ban traditional childhood activities like lunchtime football, snowball fights, cartwheels and handstands because they are deemed too dangerous.
One school in the UK prohibited pupils from doing the backstroke in swimming lessons because they might bump into somebody, while another in California banned tag because there is a "victim" or "it", which creates a self-esteem issue.

A ban on bullrush in some New Zealand schools moved one principal to complain that boys are missing out on crucial rough-and-tumble in a "feminised" school system that does not allow them to let off steam.
![Page 23: Year 13 PE Research Assignment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164f6550346895dd7622d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Critics of the cotton-wool culture say we are
rearing our children in captivity, their habitat shrinking almost daily.
Playing games like tag helps children learn to negotiate rules and resolve disputes, they claim.
Not only that, but limiting adventurous play when we are worried about childhood obesity seems ironic.

Is obesity really a
problem?
![Page 25: Year 13 PE Research Assignment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164f6550346895dd7622d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Steve Brown is horrified that many schools are
now putting camps in the "too hard" basket, believing there are too many rules to adhere to.
Young children do not have to do adrenalin-pumping activities like abseiling or kayaking that are governed by regulations and should get to do "back-to-basics stuff" like sleeping in a tent, damming a creek and cooking fritters over a fire: "There are no rules about tents, about fires, about freedom camping or climbing trees".

In an attempt to protect children from any
potential harm, we have banned pies from school canteens, created exam systems that nobody fails and made the world so "clean" that our immune systems never properly develop.

Ian Grant says after he spoke on the issue
recently, he was told of two schools that had banned running, not just in corridors but anywhere on the school grounds.
And after a child was tragically killed on a jungle gym, climbing equipment everywhere was lowered, when the mats underneath could "just have been made spongier".

Is this an extreme
sport?
![Page 29: Year 13 PE Research Assignment](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164f6550346895dd7622d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Grant says society is turning fathers into
"male mothers" obsessed with safety instead of adventure.
While mothers can provide adventure too, fathers take an "edgier" approach: "When a mother goes into a park, she naturally thinks, 'How can I make sure my children are safe?' whereas dads go in thinking, "What crazy things can we do here?'."

So how do families find a balance?
Experts agree that parents need to identify real dangers without preventing children from exploring.
Ian Grant says children should be taught to
take "smart risks", weighing up the best and worst things that might happen.
