Children Quote by Gever Tulley
““The best reason to examine the pervasive influence of dangerism is to ensure we aren’t hindering our children’s development by limiting their experiences in the name of keeping them safe. This is becoming an increasingly complex world; we need bold, creative, independent thinkers and explorers who are able to overcome the unknown challenges they will face as they invent the future for themselves.””
