Kids, you will need a parent’s permission for some of these ‘quests’.

Q. ‘Isn’t there a danger that if something goes wrong, my confidence will be shattered?’

It’s hard to say. I guess it depends on what happens. Can you not remember a time in which you failed in your attempt, but confidence in yourself grew anyway? Simply because you gave it a go?

Note:
▪ Even if you attempt a quest and fail, praise yourself for having a go.
▪ Watching scary movies doesn’t count. You need to actively move through your 
 fears, not passively inure yourself to them.
▪ Don’t do anything that might be unsafe. Doing something unsafe demeans you. 
 Respected abseilers, speleologists, mountain climbers, skydivers . . . minimise the 
 risks as much as possible. They make their activity as safe as possible before doing it.
