Re: Over Protective Parent!!
aw, Ask99 make sure you are not TOO hard on them. I can't really say much cause I am not in your shoes..but I guess as I think back about how my parents were. The key is for your kids to know that you trust them....when they know that their parents trust them so much..they think twice before anything they do..not wanting to break that trust. It also depends on the prespective of your kids...how they view your "over-protectivness"..negatively or positively. I know when my parents constantly nag me to wear a jacket when I dont think that I need one..they are doing it because they care . (eventho, it can be annoying)
You have to balance between being over-protective and not being enough...which sometimes means not being protective about things such as them getting hurt ( small injuries) cause kids will be kids, afterall.
Trust them.
