[quote=Anonymous]I’m curious as to people’s general parenting philosophy on when to let kids make their own decisions/mistakes and when to intervene? Outside of dangerous situations (obviously) where is that line for you? At 40 i grew up with a lot of fun hints just “happening” - school changes, activities stopped/started, babysitters/caregivers/coaches hired and fired. Now, we’ve moved to the opposite extreme where people are making homebuying decisions based on their children’s needs and preferences. I want to take my children’s opinions into consideration and i also want to recognize that’s there’s a reason most 10 year olds can’t drive/vote/live alone because they aren’t done with their education and their brains aren’t fully developed. What’s the right line between 100% my way and 100% catering to their preferences? Any articles or thoughts?[/quote]
