[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s pretty normal, but also important to recognize that most parents 'outgrow' these intense emotions as their kids get older. When my firstborn was about 7 months old, I took her to an indoor playground. A five-year-old boy walked up to her and slapped her for no reason. My heart was broken for a week. I’d lie awake at night wondering, How can I protect my children in this world? Now, honestly, even if my kids get pushed or punched, it won't really take any emotional toll on me anymore. When I see parents of adult children being overly protective, sentimental, or spoiling them emotionally or financially, it almost feels unhealthy or abnormal to me. [/quote]
