Includes bibliographical references (p. 92-93).
'No Fear' argues that throughout the developed world childhood is being undermined by the growth of risk aversion. The book explores how risk aversion restricts children's play, limits their freedom of movement, corrodes their relationships with adults and constrains their exploration of physical, social and virtual worlds.
