A while ago I blogged about rearing children in captivity. I wondered it we are hurting our children by being overprotective.
Here is a video from the TED Talks series that addresses the same issue.
Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, talks about our new wave of overprotected kids — and spells out 5 (and really, he’s got 6) dangerous things you should let your kids do. Allowing kids the freedom to explore, he says, will make them stronger and smarter and actually safer.
