Those who say it is better to hide and not to gamble in front - go ahead. I just wonder what else you want to overprotect your kid from. What else from your mind the kid gonna get addicted from watching. With such too much care and cautious over everything, with some many “if/would/could” you are not doing much good to a kid. I just want to see your face, when you question yourself why your kid is already 30yo, still lives with you, have no intention to getting marries and dont want to work.
You make a fair point. It's only natural as parents that we want to protect our kids from getting hurt or running into trouble. But keeping them wrapped in bubble wrap their whole childhood won't do them any favors later on. Kids gotta explore things for themselves and even mess up some times. That's how they gain moxie and learn to stand on their own two feet when theyre grown and i say let them skin their knees and get some calluses once in awhile. It'll serve them well down the road. But hey, it ain't easy watching your little ones take tumbles. We just gotta find the right balance, I suppose.
