Yet as Gever Tulley points out in Fifty Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do), children who grow up as safe as possible become adults who aren?t adventurous, highly adaptable, or confident. Sometimes you have to fall out of a tree to figure out how to climb one the right way, and learning that you can accomplish such a thing on your own teaches you that you can be selfsufficient.
]With Fifty Dangerous Things, Gever Tulley, has written a handbook of activities that are, yes, dangerous at some level — like playing with fire, breaking glass, and opening batteries. The book is a blueprint to help parents and children explore the world, and ensure the children grow up, with a little common sense and a lot of curiosity.
Both the advice and the warnings are down to earth. Yes, there are risks, but Tulley provides good ways to learn to avoid them through your own skill. It takes work to raise a child who can use a table saw or build a campfire. But with this book in hand, it?ll be a satisfying adventure.
We see a child climbing a tree and the first thing we think of is how they might fall and be disabled for life. We seldom say, “Look at how well Sarah is climbing that tree!” When we protect children from every possible source of danger, we also prevent them from having the kinds of experiences that develop their sense of selfreliance, their ability to deal with risks, and their sense of accomplishment.
