Re: Over Protective Parent!!
This is very hard for me also....mine are still very young (7, 6 and 4) and the eldest does not have good judgement. Middle follows his big brother. So the freedoms that I'm talking about are small ones - ie., meeting me in front of the school when school lets out - I am slower than other parents to allow. In time, I hope to be able to let go a bit but I think every freedom has to be appropriately given, yeah? I just hope I can be objective enough to figger out when I'm appropriate and when I'm overdoing....sigh. A parents worries never end!
