50 Risks to Take With Your Kids is an easy-to-use framework of challenges for children aged up to ten. You'll find risks that build physical skills, social confidence and character development, plus some all-important parenting risks that will encourage you to think a little differently about raising children. This book is not about developmental KPIs, and it's certainly not about judgement. It's about teaching kids to recognise and assess risk before they enter those ‘risky' teenage years, and about readying them to take on life and all that it brings. And most importantly it's about having fun and connecting as a family along the way.
