[quote=Anonymous]I think OP and all of the moms that support and want to "fix" everything need to read this article. And the "free play" and how they handle it, is the same for older kids too. You must let your kids make mistakes, handle sticky situations and give them time to resolve their own issues. We are raising a bunch of sissies with no rational thinking. It is like we want them to have a "run to mommy" syndrome, which really is our mistake as parents. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/give-childhood-back-to-children-if-we-want-our-offspring-to-have-happy-productive-and-moral-lives-we-must-allow-more-time-for-play-not-less-are-you-listening-gove-9054433.html[/quote]
