“I believe we’ve become a generation of parents more used to saying “no don’t touch, climb, wander off, get dirty” rather than “yes, of course you can...let me know if you need any help”. I really want to help children learn to manage their own risk to become confident explorers and innovators and to give parents the confidence to let them do it.”
