"We need brave boys and girls", Gever Tulley

Should children, to grow up healthy, do dangerous things? According to Gever Tulley , founder of Brightworks School and Tinkering School, two educational initiatives based on learning through experimentation, controlled risk can be a powerful educational tool. This educator firmly believes that education needs to free itself from parental over-protection. "We need brave boys and girls, who are prepared to confront the challenges of the world to come." The message for fearful parents is clear: "Don't let your fear be the only thing that interferes with your child's autonomy."
