Safety Worst
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
The community of Delta, B.C. is looking at updating its Annieville playground with riskier equipment, after a public health expert told the council that kids who play safe when they're young show more signs of depression and anxiety later in life. Anthony and Jeff have some strong opinions about playing it safe, and debate the merits of "helicopter parenting". We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
