Should children, to grow up healthy, do dangerous things? According to Gever Tulley, founder of Brightworks School and Tinkering School, two educational initiatives based on learning through experimentation, controlled risk can be a powerful educational tool. This educator firmly believes that education needs to free itself from parental over-protection. "We need brave boys and girls, who are prepared to confront the challenges of the world to come." The message for fearful parents is clear: "Don't let your fear be the only thing that interferes with your child's autonomy."
