My brother and sister have happily let me throw them into the proverbial deep end knowing I’d be there to back them up when things got rough. Our fears manifest themselves in peculiar ways, the rules we create for young and old often say as much about our insecurities as what we think of others. Check this article out and consider what it means to let children light fires and play with sharp objects.
