Is Too Much Safety a Risk?

For most people, life today is safer than it was 1,000, 100, or even 10 years ago. However, most parents still spend time and money keeping their children as safe as possible. They buy them helmets to wear when riding a bike. They keep them away from things that could cause injury. These actions seem good, but some people argue that too much safety may actually be bad.

These people say that children cannot learn how to stay safe if they are never in dangerous situations. Moreover, children learn while doing risky things. For example, they learn to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.

According to the ‘hygiene theory’, keeping children too safe may also cause health issues. Some parents do not let their children play with those who have an illness, or they stop their children from playing outside. As a result, their children’s bodies are not used to germs or dirt. When these children eat a food that is normal, their bodies may have a dangerously strong reaction. Perhaps that is why more and more children have allergies to foods like nuts or eggs.
