My eldest is nearly 13 and has had his karting licence for many years. I am coaching him in IAM methods of risk management, so we'll see. | |

I have read somewhere (unfortunately I can't remember where) that teenagers, and teenage boys in particular, have a very skewed way of calculating risk, which is supposedly why there are so many serious road accidents involving young male drivers: it's not that they didn't think of the risks, it's just that they thought about them in a completely different way from how you or I might. Do you think that by teaching your children about risk from a young age (I don't actually know how old yours are) you might mitigate against this effect? | |
