| But you can be too safe and overprotective too. your children need to make and learn from there own mistakes. Its ok to make mistakes. As parents we are suposed to be there when they all and guide them....not always lead them |

| I let them make mistakes but I like for them to learn from their mistakes and try to only make the same mistake once. No one is perfect. I just try to not let them out of my sight too often and things like that with all the sickos in the world. But thanks for your comment. |

| I came across a quote once that I thought was fitting..."Being a parent means knowing that your child is bound to fall...and being there to help them up when they do". |

| Kara, I completely agree about not letting them out of your site. I have 4 children, 4 and under and I freak out of Im in the front yard and one of them walks over by the car and I cant see them. There are a lot of sick people out there, and if they want to take you're child/ren they know how to do it quick. Thats one aspect of being protective of your children. But if you are talkin about not letting them play certain video games, or not spending the night at a friends house, or getting mad when they do something wrong in school, thats a whole other ball game. I think children need to be exposed to certain things, just to know its out there. But you just have to use your best judgement so your children arent so sheltered that they dont know whats going on around them in every day life, but at the same time, even if they are aware of it, they dont participate in the negative things. (if im making any sense) :) |

| Thank you Amy I'm so glad someone feels the same way I do. Your response made perfect sense to me. My kids arent at the age of wanting to spend the night with very many people as of yet but when that age comes I'll want to meet the parents first and take it from there. As far as the getting mad when they do something wrong in school thats a wide subject but I only have one in school and he's very good in school he may get a warning every once in a while but that's no big deal but if he were causing trouble in school constantly I think something should be done to help the situation. But I think you and I are pretty much in the same boat on the being protective thing. Thanks so much for your response. |
