As a kid, me and my friends would climb any roof we could. Of course adults would chase us down if they saw us, but we would just do it again when they were gone. This was rural Sweden in the 80s.
You don't want to raise conformist children, you want to raise rebels.
- sosborn 10y ago> You don't want to raise conformist children, you want to raise rebels. I disagree. I want my kids to be smart enough to know when to conform and when to rebel. Time and place :)
- eliwjones 10y agoYou don't raise a rebel by telling them it's okay to play on the roof. You raise a rebel by telling them "I don't want to see you on that motherfucking roof!" Then, when they are ready, they will go to the roof. You provide the back pressure and their job is to overcome it. How much back pressure? That's an exercise left to the parent. For my money, I want the few rebels who survive helicopter parents. These kids may be milquetoast with no sense of evaluating risk.
