Publisher's Summary

Why are we so afraid for our kids when, by any reasonable standard, they are living in the safest period in history? I spoke to a bunch of fascinating people with kids who know about negotiating risk - like Will Gadd the mountaineer. But we also went to the Adventure Playground on Governor's Island in New York and reported on it. We want our kids to be adventurous, but can barely stand to let them actually BE adventurous.

Helpful and Encouraging

Helpful and encouraging for both mom's and dad's. Although aimed at fathers, this series is a great listen for mom's as well. Less of the pat-on-the-back sentimentality that usually drips from mommy self-help, and more practical down-to-earth investigations. My husband enjoyed it as well, and it gave us some good talking points and conversation starters. #Audible1
