TED Talk - Gever Tully - Five Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kids Do

Opening Your Time Together
In your small group, please discuss the following:
  • Share your names, where you live, and your children’s names/ages
  • Our first video today is all about introducing kids to danger… what were some of the “dangerous” things that you used to do as a child, either with your parents’ permission or behind their backs?
  • Our second video is about the role of ritual… what family rituals do you remember from your own childhood?

Discussing the TED Talks
  • 5 Dangerous Things talk:
    • Were you surprised by how different the list of parent fears was from the true dangers to children?  Why might that be?
    • What role should self-exploration and mistakes play in kids’ lives?
  • One Photo at a Time talk:
    • What, if any, rituals do you have as a family?  Did you intentionally create those rituals, or did they just happen?
    • Why is ritual so important for kids? 
    • How might the rituals of church (worship, chapel, holidays, etc.) shape each child’s identity?
