Starting from a phenomenological reflection, the contribution deals with the theme of risk as an aspect inseparable from human nature, as uncertainty and precariousness are constitutive parts of the existence itself.

A partire dalla riflessione fenomenologica, il contributo affronta il tema del rischio come aspetto inscindibile dalla natura umana, essendo l’incertezza e la precarietà parti costitutive dell’esistenza stessa. Riflettendo sul concetto di rischio benefico e sul ruolo che dovrebbero avere l’educazione, gli adulti e la società intera nei confronti del rischio, si mette in evidenza come, al contrario, la protezione eccessiva generi nel lungo periodo effetti negativi. Supportano tale convinzione le ricerche che hanno coinvolto i figli di genitori iperprotettivi, o le implicazioni del rischio zero nei parchi gioco. Il compito naturale dell’educazione nei diversi livelli, micro- meso- eso- e macrosistema, consiste nell’attrezzare i bambini e le bambine alla familiarizzazione con il rischio, dotando l’infanzia di forze e mezzi propri e adeguati, rendendo la vita dei bambini non il più sicura possibile, ma sicura quanto necessario.

Abstract
Starting from a phenomenological reflection, the contribution deals with the theme of risk as an aspect inseparable from human nature, as uncertainty and precariousness are constitutive parts of the existence itself. Reflecting on the concept of beneficial risk and the role that education, adults and the whole society should have with regard to risk, it is highlighted how, on the contrary, overprotective generates negative effects in the long run. This conviction is supported by researches involving overprotective parents’ children, or the implications of zero risk in playgrounds. The natural task of education at different levels, micro- meso- eso- and macro-system, consists in equipping boys and girls in order to become acquainted with risk, providing children with appropriate strengths and means, making their lives not as safe as possible, but as safe as necessary.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
