[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed at how lazy people are. At 11, we are still loosely supervising and wouldn't let ours go off on their own.[/quote] I'm amazed at how many helicopter parents there still are - independence and confidence are learned through practice - but not while mom and dad are breathing down your neck watching your every move. I'm not lazy; I want my kid to learn how to function on their own and by taking small steps like letting them go outside of our house in our neighborhood alone, they will learn this. Did your parents watch your every move? At 11?!?!?!?!?! Your kid is going to be stunted emotionally.[/quote] Can you read idiot? She said “loosely supervising,” not breathing down her kids’ necks. PP’s kids will be fine but clearly, yours won’t. [/quote]
