#238: Embracing Scissors and Letting Go of Fear

Scissors.Such a simple tool… until it’s not.In this episode, we’re digging into the hesitation so many educators feel when it comes to offering scissors during free play. Is it about safety? Trust? Or something deeper?Because when scissors aren’t part of the environment, we might be holding children back in ways we don’t always see - from fine motor development to creativity and confidence.This episode isn’t about forcing one way of doing things. It’s about asking better questions, shifting our language, and rethinking how we support children in building real skills.If you’ve ever said “be careful” (we all have), this one’s for you.SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review.
