Gotta let kids make mistakes early and in a setting where the consequences are low.

I have this to say about the playground in New Zealand…DUH! Any parent with two active brain cells to rub together knows both of those things would happen, and it’s a pity that “professionals” are surprised by it…

Oh, and regarding the NJ laws…DUH! This was predicted by Reason and probably on this site, too.
