It's sad that in some cultures/places/families this is considered as something "unconventional or even quirky. The modern "children should live in a bubble" overprotective approach is not only making the kids useless for some things in the future, but also causes some mental issues or even disorders of varying severity (but of course, on the other hand, diagnosing every kid with ADHD and every teenager with depression is equally unfathomable for me). There was a TED talk (can't find it, possibly [1]) with some guy describing how he's doing 'dangerous' summer camps for kids. It included fire, sharp tools, etc. That's when I realized the summer camps I went to and I still visit as a supervisor/counsellor/leader would probably be banned and I executed in some places...
