Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, talks about our new wave of overprotected kids — and spells out 5 (and really, he’s got 6) dangerous things you should let your kids do. Allowing kids the freedom to explore, he says, will make them stronger and smarter and actually safer.

This talk comes from TED University 2007, a pre-conference program where TEDsters share ideas.

This is a really interesting talk about the over-protective society we live in. Im only 24 years old and dont have any kids so I dont come from the perspective of a parent, but I still think this is worth watching.
