February 2009 – Ramblings and Musings

In Defense of Fear

This list is the latest example of one (of many) ways people are ruining their children “for their own good”. The idea that we should shield our children from all kinds of fear is close-minded and stupid. Fear, even as a child, is an important emotional response, one that can teach us a lot aboutContinue reading “In Defense of Fear”
