60 Dangerous Things that Make You Brave

An activity book that emboldens children age 9 and older. 60 tests of courage that girls and boys can do alone or with their parents, helping prepare them for the most important dangerous situations children face.

Diverse everyday situations call for children to be couragous and cautious. How do I react when a big dog approaches me? How does it feel to sleep under the stars at night? How do I protect someone who is being bullied by others? Children who know how to use a stove, have lit a fire themselves and know how to state their opinion in a loud voice are much better prepared to deal with danger and challenges. For only those who have actually dealt with difficult situations are able to develop practical solutions.

This book provides children and families with ideas for staging and experiencing dangerous situations and thrilling challenges together. This teaches the whole family to work together and learn from each other.


Tests of courage and experiments:
Sticking two fingers together with super glue • speaking in front of a group • existing a day long by only eating sugar • freezing glass bottles and letting them explode • making a fire • cooking spaghetti and pouring off the hot water • balancing on something high • a huge dog runs toward me – what do I do? • testing a fence for electricity • whittling with a knife • riding a bike free-handed • touching stinging nettles • crossing train tracks • taking care of someone ill • going out alone • going barefoot through the city
