That’s nothing. When I were a lad we had to walk 40miles in the snow in our bare feet just to borrow a shovel to clear the snow so we could get out of the house in the first place.

Hmm...this sounds familiarOh we always made sure we got paid - or there were repercussions for the miserable householders, usually in the way of a good egging of their house

Kids work better under pressure.
I recommend getting them to lay a patio at the same time and give them a 2 hour limit to do it in.

I remember doing some hedge clearing for a neighbour when I was about 12/13. I think I was given a pair of thick gloves and secateurs and basically was chopping the looser branches that the neighbour had cut off ready to stick in the bin.
I also recall doing some block paving driveway cleaning with some hand tool to pull out the moss between bricks.
Can't imagine any serious injuries from either of those types of tasks. Might have got a few pricks from the hedging, or maybe some grazing from the driveway, but goes to show the mental-ness of today when you have to worry about liability insurance.
