Kids Need Risk & Thrill

  • Children naturally seek risk and thrill as part of their development.
  • Engaging in slightly dangerous activities helps them learn to manage risks, build resilience, and develop coping mechanisms.
  • Overprotection can hinder this process, making them mentally fragile.
  • Early academic pushing offers no advantages and can be counterproductive.
  • Delaying formal academic instruction until age seven, as practiced in Scandinavia, produces excellent results.
