[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80s mindset is way better. everything I’ve read supports that it was better for everyone, kids and parents. Please don’t try to make yourself be a worrier!! Your kids will be fine, great even. The only things you need to prevent are things that risk life and limb. Any other bumps, bruises, breaks, learning etc are worth it.  Maybe read some books that will help you bolster your confidence in not being a worrier and why it can be good for kids. I’ll come back with some examples in a few I can’t remember off the top of my head. [/quote]

Ok for some reason names were escaping me - the gift of failure is one. Duct tape parenting is another not quite in the same vein but really encourages stepping back and encouraging independence. While trying to remind myself of the names of these I stumbled upon a book “idle parenting why laidback parents raise happier healthier kids” and I may have to try that one!

Plus the example you gave isn’t even really that much of a concern so are you sure you’re not a worrier? Certainly not best practice like someone mentioned but unlikely to actually cause an issue unless you’re like a social media influencer.. :)[/quote]
