Canadian Pediatrics endorses ‘risky play’

Perhaps the word risky is not ideal in this article. 

Free play, mostly free from injury — but with minor risk of bumps and bruises is recommended for parents.

Carlos Yulo for Nestlé MILO

Inspiring ad.

That’s Yulo’s brother Karl playing him as a boy.

MILO was a sponsor of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.

However, World Floor Champion 2019 Carlos Edriel Yulo was not brought up in an expensive house like this. His father worked as a messenger.

Yulo started  as a street tumbler in a public park near Manila Zoo.
