Yeah, anyone who would dare to actually experiment, have fun, try new

There's nothing like experience for a teacher. Do you shelter your kids
from climbing trees because they may get a boo-boo? Do you not let them
run for fear of a scraped knee when they fall? Do you not let them swim
for fear of drowning? Do you watch their every move to make sure they
don't do something you think will harm them or get them dirty? Sheesh.


That's kinda dumb. If you find out your kid's hanging out with someone who's
trying to mix explosives in their garage, do you say nothing? It's a bit
different from climbing a tree.

No, not really. If you let them have their tumbles and falls with the
little things, as opposed to protecting them by making them wear bubble
wrap all the time, they learn from experience what NOT to do.
