appropriate tolerance of failure . Moreover , we understand that children develop these qualities best in an environment that is saturated with loving-kindness and where the challenges are neither too great nor too small . Indeed , children owe their sense of adventure not only to themselves , but also to the people around them .
Adults play a role in creating environments that help children approach life with a sense of adventure rather than with doubts , fears , and hesitations . We accept this . To what extent should we accept a corresponding
responsibility for adults ? How would our communities — even our province — change if we decided that life lived as an adventure should be available to everyone ? After all , as we know from games , we have the most fun when everyone is fully engaged .
Lloyd Den Boer is a retired educator who lives with his wife in Edmonton . Their next adventure will be a long-postponed visit to see grandchildren in the United States . May the fourth attempt succeed !
