Minding Your Mind - Risk Taking For Children - Daisy Turnbull

As children grow up, how do they learn to assess risk and make good decisions? How do parents help kids learn to weigh up risks, when usually their instinct is to protect the little darlings.

Daisy Turnbull, author of 50 risks to take with your kids, joins us. If you have any questions or comments email Ian and James at [email protected] .
