Jeff Bezos let his children use knives at age 4 to build resourcefulness

Jeff Bezos advocates for children to engage in risky play, believing it builds essential resourcefulness. He shared that his own childhood on a ranch taught him problem-solving skills. Allowing children to handle tools and face challenges prepares them for future endeavors. Experts suggest this hands-off approach can lead to greater confidence and resilience. Overparenting, conversely, may negatively impact children's mental well-being later in life.
