Riding through the way

On my way to work in the morning I noticed this kid, a boy aged 12-13 years, riding his bicycle.
On a normal scene I wouldn't have looked again, but this guy ! oh! he was riding confidently
in huge traffic on the Velachery road , that too so close to the yellow dividing line !
I was rally impressed with the way this kid
i) maneuvered his bicycle in the middle of the road
ii) followed traffic rules
iii) didn't get down from the bike and kept his balance all through the ride
Well ,I for one, would have stopped or would have rode along the far end of the road in
this case.
Anyways, that made me think - how should one raise one's kids - to turn them into fearless ones or fearful ones?

Well, i would say, just show them both the sides and let them make the call.Let them fall and learn or rather let them learn and live !!
