I'm reminded of Tito Traversa. I don't know the specifics - but I wonder how his quickdraws ended up the way they were? Would an adult have been more cautious? 12 year olds might not know fully grasp "correct" equipment use as well. Perhaps it really was just bad luck.
But I am heartened by this statement:
"Sandseter and a colleague found that those who said their parents encouraged things like rock climbing and kayaking were less prone to criminal and antisocial behaviors "
I think any activity that gets kids off the couch is great... but I would be concerned about encouraging them to compete at extreme levels. Then again, look at beauty pagents.
Is it the kids who are so keen or are the parents creating that need to be the best? Perhaps it's both? |
