John Bunch Expert Mother tongue: English Posts: 5379 32 Joined: Friday, February 01, 2008 Location: Germany	RE: Are we too protected ? My favotire parenting story is Richard Branson. He is the CEO of Virgin, and one of the richest men in the world, and he does all kinds of things like skydiving and ballooning. He said, when he was 4 years old, his mom drove him out to the outer suburbs of London, let him out of the car, and said "Ok, now find your way home". He said, after he did that, he was never afraid of anything.
