Kids Toys Suck (2011)
&gt;  you make real mistakes on a smaller scale and learn from them rather than being sheltered, so you don’t grow into an incompetent idiot as an adult.<p>This. It might sound rough, but in a lot of &quot;accident scenarios&quot; kids don&#x27;t break as easily adults.. They don&#x27;t break their bones and hips as easily.. They&#x27;re shorter, so their tiny cute little heads don&#x27;t get banged as hard on the concrete when they fall..<p>Yes, of course we need to protect them from danger, we don&#x27;t want them to lose fingers, eyes or lives.. We want to limit the head-banging to especially teachable moments.. But still, I want my kid to learn balance and inertia and all the physical things that comes with being in a human body, while he can do it without the same serious consequences as someone in their 20s would suffer.<p>I don&#x27;t wish him pain, but I want him to be comfortable with himself, not be scared of everything because he don&#x27;t know what will happen or how to do anything, and the other hand, know what things are unrealistic and shouldn&#x27;t be attempted, because they already tried it while they were flexible enough not to break too much.
