My sister posted this website on Facebook and I found it fascinating, mostly because I think I am a little too risk-averse with my own kids at times. "Get down", "Don't do that", "You're going to hurt yourselves" are phrases often heard from me. After saying any of those, I wonder to myself why I didn't just let them have fun. And if they get a couple bumps and bruises, big deal.

The Risky Kids site that is dedicated to "risky" behavior, the type of behavior that used to be normal when I was a kid. It is filled with great ideas and lessons about how risky play improves children's confidence and let's them explore and experience with greater freedom.

This is a very nice post from a fellow Hoosier. Just thought I'd share it:
