Kids aren’t fragile, but they are a product of their environment. Take care not to put them in a fragile environment, lest they become fragile.
Strong, capable kids need an empowering culture around them. Let them run, jump, lift, carry, throw, wrestle, flip, and climb. Let them read and tell them stories of our powerful ancestors.
Allowing kids to experience themselves fully means that they will get hurt. That’s something you can fear and protect them from, or something you can trust they are big enough to overcome.
Either way, you are creating the environment that they are a product of.
