A nursery school was situated on the corner of a busy road, with traffic constantly driving past. The school had a lovely playground, surrounded by small metal railings to stop the children running into the road. At break times, however, all the children would stay very close to the school house because they were frightened by the passing traffic on the other side of the low railings. Then one day the school brought in contractors to erect a higher steel-mesh fence and from that day on, the children played in the whole playground. Note: Children are happier and feel more secure when their parents or carers put up fences to show clear boundaries.
