I appreciate the suggestion, I’ll look into it. That said, im a firm believer in the schools of thought around calculated risk. Letting them fall sure, but into a somewhat safe or even lightly padded area - enough to feel the shock and some light pain that is informative in teaching them to be more careful and internally weigh potential risk against their future actions, but also avoiding said threat to life and limb.

Personally, I’m of the mind that a lot of the “just let them fall” theory is more to soothe the guilt of the parents and many of those “walk it off” kids had multiple TBIs and grew up to be one eyed, nine toed, frontal lobe damaged trump voters.
