We got bored and did dangerous things as kids and it was fun. We broke bones and now when we meet we laugh at it and have a bunch of stories.

Last week I showed a few teens how to chop some wood; it took .5 seconds for moms to get up and start freaking out saying it was too dangerous...

An hour later we had a stack of wood and everybody had fun, learned and felt great about a good job done.

People need to relax and let their kids have fun, learn and know what, sometimes get hurt. It's part of a process that is now much too rare...
