I totally get this. My daughter is completely fearless in ways I’d always hoped to be but could never stomach.

I’m a full-on admirer of everything she does, because she does it with everything she’s got.

So amazing to see their strengths in action.

I was a cautious kid too, and it thrills and terrifies me to watch my little daredevils. What a sweet post! Jerseygirl89's last blog post..Haiku Friday - Meme-Alicious

I was always a fearless kid – didn’t learn to be careful until I broke my ankle at 40. My kids – fearless too – but never quite as reckless as I was. That’s a good thing!

That's awesome. I have one of both. I was the big risk taker when I was young, and I have one that is terrified of most everything, (a stick is a snake I swear, anything a foot off the floor will surely fall, going fast is bad, etc.) and one who is dangerously brave, (jump off the top bunk at 18 months old, no problem, jump in the deep end of the pool with no floats, way cool!) I'm glad your girls are so brave, they'll most likely grow up very balanced with your guidance to help them form bounderies. Sara's last blog post..I'm home.

I think it's great that you keep your fear and nervousness from showing. It's so easy to project our own fears on our children. If their natures are fearless, that is wonderful and good for you to be proud of it! caramama's last blog post..I'm in the Mood for Love

I was fearless, but consequence oriented. This made me a very confused child.

I have one child who will tackle anything and one who hangs back. The other is somewhere in between and I think that has more to do with his absolute ease of every situation that he is just too relaxed to give a rip.

Either way – I’m kinda hoping that my kids are somewhat consequence oriented – ALTHOUGH it hasn’t reared its head yet, so um…maybe not?

My kids look fearless, although my older is actually cautious, just practices a lot until he can jump from the highest places. When I realized I was projecting my own fear of heights, I had to conciously take a step back and let them be free, and realize getting hurt is not the worst thing in the world.

T is the cautious one but ohmylord, Sage is going to be flinging herself off bridges tethered to bungie cords by the time she's seven. I fear for my heart. Mom101's last blog post..Open Arms. And Other Limbs.

That is so amazing.

Fearlessness can be such a gift. B/c when we are able to put our fear aside, we can experience so much.

Once again, lessons to be learned from our children.
