[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop coddling your kid. She might get hurt. So?  Risk-taking mad evaluation of risk is an essential skill.[/quote]

I'm not exactly coddling my kid. (OP here).  I mentioned earlier she plays a travel sport--it's hockey, which she plays on a boys team--that's with checking.  So I'm not exactly rolling her up in bubble wra[ waiting for her 21st birthday. :)

For the record, they do intend to teach the back flip off the wall.  It's not mandatory, but they will teach it.

OK, I'm off to lecture her about what can happen if she starts doing this on random walls.  ;)

Thanks again.[/quote]

Safe, supervised activity with someone enforcing rules. Not the same as evaluating a risk, taking it, and finding out whether or not your evaluation was correct.  Not at all comparable. [/quote]

They're both supervised, one is a gym class, one is sport.  Unless you think going outside unsupervised and attempting to jump across rooftops is a good idea in risk evaluation?[/quote]
