We believe children should be adventurous. If they are not allowed the opportunity to be adventurous we condemn them to a slow spiritual death ... How else is the adolescent to understand his or her capabilities? Who would gallop an unproven horse at a high fence? Who would enter a race in a car which has not been subjected to rigorous stresses? Who wants to tackle adult life with no sense of his or her powers? We need to know what we can do.' Children have lost their freedom - to roam to dare to fail. Stifled by bureaucracy and helicopter parenting they have been limited in their opportunities to learn by taking risks. John Marsden the bestselling author of the Tomorrow series has spent his life educating kids and teenagers and is passionate about the need to best prepare them for the rigours of adulthood. As the founder and principal of two schools John has put his theories to the test and seen the empowering results of his methods. Take Risks is the compelling memoir of a respected author and educator and a forthright discourse on teaching parenting and society as a whole.
