<p>Scissors.</p><p>Such a simple tool… until it’s not.</p><p>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?</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>If you’ve ever said “be careful” (we all have), this one’s for you.</p><p><strong>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</strong></p><p>If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review.
