Fear ruins everything. As adults, we fear failure, so we try to prevent our kids from experiencing it. As adults, we fear not winning, so we re-invent games so there are no winners. Everyone wins! (except everyone actually loses). We fear lawsuits, so we don't let kids play on our property, and we don't let them skateboard, and we don't let them do things unless its an organized activity with licensed/bonded/insured supervision.
