I saw this episode recommended on another parent’s IG feed. It was the first I’d heard of your podcast and I really enjoyed it. One question I have stems from encouraging physical risk taking. I see this mentioned by a lot of parenting experts, and one thing I never hear mentioned is the reality of insurance in the US. When we had crappy insurance and were living on one income, I hovered much more than I do now that we have decent insurance. I see the forest schools in Europe and love their philosophy so much, but when implemented in the US, they are definitely watered down. How can we as parents navigate our desires to truly set kids free vs the reality that for so many of us, we just can’t afford to?
