Parenting like an Australian : one family's quest to fight fear and dive into a better, braver life

Cave, Damien (author.). Cave, Damien revision of: Into the rip. (Added Author).

Summary: When Damien and his wife Diana decided to move their family to Sydney, they were confronted with new ideas that were deeply at odds with the American mindset of careful, optimized parenting. So Damien set out to understand why his Australian neighbours seemed happier without the urge to keep their children from tears, potential injury, and failure. Eventually, he learned that risk - physical or social - is extremely valuable. Risk is something we can get better at managing and it's something that can help our kids grow into strong, brave, happy adults.
