[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again: conservative is not a euphamism for "punative." specific example: if i think the high slide is ok and he thinks its dangerous, he should be allowed to forbid child from going on high slide b/c the more cautious approach wins. i truly haven;t found a good argument around this, thank you to those who see red flags. i don't want to be so used to a situation that i can;t see it anymore. will hit the books and see if he can take a parenting class with me.[/quote] Essentially, what he is saying is that the playground becomes a proving ground for which parent is dominant. Since he is always going to be more "conservative," he will always win, no? If you have disagreements about safety on the playground, discuss the playground at home and establish some reasonable ground rules based on a happy medium. Don't make the playground a crucible for who gets their way. I don't think this is about safety. It's about who is in control.[/quote]
