I do too. A few scrapes and yes, even stitches are part of learning and stretching you abilities and boundaries.
By the time I was twelve I was confident to do things even some adults are afraid or unwilling to do. Driving tractors with equipment attached, riding my bike back and forth to a pool three miles away, hunting by myself etc.
