You see, driving doesn’t need to be that dangerous. While the USA has 12.9 traffic related deaths per 100k my country has 2. And it’s still a good analogy because the difference lies in driver education. We have special classes to teach night driving, long distance driving, rural driving, driving on ice, how to correctly install child seats, how to safely fasten loads to the roof rack etc. And that’s what I’d like in this case. To equip her with more knowledge about what can go wrong and how to avoid it.

Oh I’m not trying to kill her enthusiasm. I just want her to do some rudimentary risk assessment. Like “if I jump off the top of my sisters bunk bed to the other side of the room, there’s a chance I’ll wipe out and break my leg”.

Never heard of it, don’t have a TV, and also live in Scandinavia.

Yeh we live in arctic Scandinavia so no American chains.

Yeah, there’s a pretty decent one. Quite expensive though.

Yeah, but the problem is that she does look actually very impressive. Kind of like a little blonde David belle.

Nope, a relatively small apartment with 4 kids. No space. The local trampoline park is quite expensive, but also doesn’t allow children under 5.

I don’t think the local parkour gym takes anyone under 14. Probably for insurance purposes. But I’ll see if there’s anything similar.

The problem is not that she doesn’t learn from her mistakes, it’s that she hasn’t made one yet, so she’s emboldened by her perceived immortality.

All that equipment will be buried under a meter of snow until April. But for now she’s learning to cross country ski and soon skate. I figured that if her balance is that good, why not?

Not so much. If she can’t get airborne, she complains about walking and wants to be carried.

We’re definitely considering a child’s gymnastics class or something similar.

We’ve definitely considered a gymnastics class for her. She lands like a chimp. Ie she lands on bended knees and rolls to distribute the force. She jumps further and from higher up than her 10 year old sister. If I weren’t genuinely concerned for her safety I’d just be impressed. But she definitely lands correctly already.
