Why are parents always so exhausted today? Should you let your child do dangerous things? Is “Stranger Danger” something to teach our children? Cath Prisk, a leading expert in the UK on children’s play and the outdoors, answers these questions - and explains how British children have less freedom than ever before and how this is making children stressed, and parents frazzled. Cath offers inspiring examples from other countries and tips for parents to foster trust and responsibility in children.
