Ever heard the term helicopter parenting?  Well, it’s about parents hovering over their children making sure they are never put at risk.

 

Daisy Turnbull says not letting children take risks leaves them exposed to challenges later in life.  Her book 50 Risks You Should Take with Your Kids not only provides inspiration, it also gives parenting tips on getting bogged down in guilt and doubt over whether you're doing a good enough job.  

 

Tom and Annika shed light on their own childhoods and how their experience has shaped their lives.  Don’t mollycoddle your children – too much!!!  Let them eat sand, skin their knees and ride a scooter down a hill at speed.  Let them live and watch them grow.
