Do you have kids? It is hard to explain exactly how it works but you have one or two, and they are so precious, that your imagination of the bad thing that could happen, and even worse how you would feel knowing that you enabled it, and it can be paralyzing. One of the things I was determined to do early one was teach my kids rational caution. It is hard, it requires enduring both the occasional injury and the scorn of your friends and neighbors, but for me it paid off with very capable daughters who can take on new tasks, asses the risks, and take appropriate measures to both mitigate the risk and prepare for the result in the event the mitigation was insufficient.
