5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kids Do.
This is a great video clip from Ted.com. It's a talk given by Gever Tulley, founder of The Tinkering School.
Basically, Mr. Tulley says we should let our kids play with fire, own a pocketknife, get behind the wheel of a car (uh, before they can see over the dashboard), and a couple other things. His point is that kids feel empowered when they get the opportunity to explore these often forbidden experiences. They learn things they could never learn just by watching a demonstration or hearing a lecture from a well-meaning parent. See, we do have logical reasons for letting Kaiden do the crazy things he does!!!

Hey! I checked out the video. Very interesting! I remember dealing with most of these things as a kid. I see his point, but I still not ready to handover the pocket knives yet! :) Natalie
