If you clicked on my Clipmarks today (check them in the sidebar), you will see that I have included 2 clips about Gever Tulley and Julie Spiegler new book Fifty Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do).This book is the first book from the people who created Tinkering School. With projects, activities, experiences, and skills ranging from “Superglue Your Fingers Together” to “Play with Fire,” along with 48 other great ideas, the book is a manifesto for kids and parents alike to reclaim childhood. Why Fifty Dangerous Things? First off, Five Dangerous Things just weren’t enough (although the audience at TED thought it was a good starting point)
Here’s a page from the book…. As a parent are you guilty of wrapping your kids in cotton wool ? …. tell us what you think – are you for or against the premise behind the book?
