I came across this today, where a baby is dropped what seems to be around 15ft at something around the age of 2-5. Apparently it gives them strength and courage.
Wow, people do things differently. I’m sure that I shouldn’t judge. But where is it normal and right to drop a kid like that.
That said, as long as nobody’s getting hurt, my liberal values should allow this completely. And apparently nobody’s been hurt.
Rather like that mythical story of Richard Branson who was left to find his way home aged 4 from several miles away. Now seems almost barbaric, but I could see how something like this would have an instrumental part in his character.
Which leads to a very nice and intriguing question – what are the specific incidents that I can think about in my life aged 0-20 that have made me who I am. Hmm. More soon on that.
