1.Streetwise Children As soon as our child is born we educate
them. How to cross the road. How to behave in the real world. Not
to talk to strangers etc. But then we give them a phone and fail to
give them the same level of education and support. Soon they know
more than we do, but their fearless approach + a lack of life
experience can be a recipe for disaster.
