5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do

[williamjpiano]

The reason why I like burning things, making blades, throwing knives and spears, deconstructing things, and ripping CDs as a kid.

You don't need to burn to CD then rip to MP3, that's a waste of a CD.

You can just use WinAMP and use the output to save to a new filetype.

His dependence on his notes was very distracting.

"We put warning labels on coffee saying it may be hot."

That's not for kids, it's because some moronic lady sued McDonalds cause she spilled hot coffee all over herself.

I did all of this as a kid. I appreciate my parents more now :)

Im 12 and I really agree, and I've learned a different way of thinking just from watching this presentation. I've seen a view from an adult with fire in their heart! Not an adult who can't bend their mouth. Now to nag my dad to get me a knife...

its hard to believe that you have to tell people to allow their children to learn how to live...my children have pocket knives, bows, bb guns, fishing poles, slingshots and tool kits, they play with giant fresnel lenes out of big screen tv sets ...the disassemble their toys, they play in the creek and catch minnows and crayfish, catch snakes and lizzards, hang out in tree houses ..they experience nature and the world....they are 7 and 9 yrs old.. they are brilliant and imaginative.

I opened a safety pin and held the sharp end so my 2yo grand daughter could touch it. Just before she put her finger to the pin, I said a couple of times in a very affirmative voice, "Ouch!". She then gently touched the pin and quickly pulled her finger away. Once again I said "Ouch" and she repeated it to me. She then slowly put her finger on the pin again, pulled it away and said "Ouch". The whole exercise only took a minute but seemed a powerful learning experience for her. No blood appeared!

Fantastic stuff. Children are not allowed to grow up nowadays. We have many adults around now who have let the government become their mom and dad to set the rules to protect them. You have to play and work safely but we have become way to risk adverse as a society

You should never of had children. You should hire someone else to teach your kids to read and write as well.

I've noticed evidence of what you say in the way playgrounds are designed now.

[mihogo]

my cousin drove his father's car and crashed it towards other car

[rippycat]

I still have the scars on my hand from my first pocket knife. Loved it!

[WoggyWooWoo]

This isn't just for kids, I can think of more than a few adults who could learn from this.

If the limp wristed crowd has their way, the world will eventually be covered in nerf foam, and the productive members of society will have been bred out of existence, leaving only emotionally driven mouth breathers with no ability for critical thinking.
