Knives, guns and climbing trees. We made sure that our boys learned the proper use of knives early. We encouraged them to climb trees but never helped them and at first stood watch. When they started scouts we encouraged them to get their merit badges in use of rifle and shotgun. Our oldest achieved his junior NRA rating. We talked to them about gun safety. They knew that they could call home anytime and come home. One of our sons did call home when he did not like the movies that were being played at a sleep over. I’m sure he was teased later but hey. It’s all called parenting.
Teasing? I think they call that bullying now a days. ;>}
