- Patagonia was founded by climbers-risk taking is in our blood.
The guiding philosophies and key practices of our child-care program reflect Patagonia’s values, mission and culture. When babies want to roll down the grassy hill or two-year-olds want to scale the climbing wall, we stand nearby and assist only if necessary. When children make relatively small decisions - Should I climb this tree? - they practice weighing consequences before they get older and must make higher-stakes choices.
There is a difference between danger and risk. Our environments reflect this difference by being free of hazards but full of challenges. Teachers don’t encourage kids to climb higher than they’re prepared to, and they don’t hold them back if they seem capable and focused. Teachers are available to support children but ultimately want kids to be able to accurately assess risk.
Supporting children in taking chances teaches them to guide themselves safely, thoughtfully and confidently. Those are the rewards of risk.

This is fantastic! And comes at an opportune time. I just experienced the last first day of school with my youngest. We taught those 2 girls to climb trees, to explore, to know. Oh, and on the politics side, it was my more liberal friends who were the hover parents. My daughter climbed the tree to retrieve the ball stuck in it - leaving the boys on the ground! Full disclosure, I'm independent, I reject your blue red false dichotomy.
"If a kid doesn't take risk's he'll grow up to be a Republican"
LOL love that ...and feels so true ...especially in today's "Republican" Politician's...!
It’s about teaching kids to take CALCULATED risks.
I believe in taking some risks but to let children walk barefoot and say, they learn what hurts to step on, is not a good idea. What if they step on something that could really harm them. I just think that there are reasons to take precautions for certain things.
I love this and it has nothing to do with politics. They should’ve edited his comment out.
So intuitive. I spent my first 5 years in front of the telly.
Please read the book Anastasia, written by Russian guy Vladimir Megre. It will confirm importance of what you see in this video and will add new perspective on kids, on us, on many things. If you know you are nature, you`ll love the book.
Dems. Pffff
I hope Yvon's Republican comment was a joke becasue if it wasn't he is blind to who is sheltered and afraid of risk
Stop taking life so seriously Jake
