I force myself to keep as much 'management distance' as possible when my DDs (12 & 8) are doing outdoorsy/risky stuff - from bike riding, skateboarding, rock climbing, surfing etc etc

I only try to intervene to suggest the odd technique tip, which if kept to a minimum, they don't seem to mind.... but if I get too close, I get in trouble!!!


AND - Fantastic article - thanks for posting!
