I don't disagree with much - if anything - you've written. Also I think everyone is aware that different children have different needs at certain milestones in their development. I also agree that you have to tackle parenting on an individual basis because children's natures are so different (everyone with more than one kid knows this for sure). It's just that I'm not particularly worried about porn for exmaple. Certainly not enough to let my child know I'm monitoring him, signaling distrust and make him self-conscious about the things he searches for on the internet. I'd rather have him explore in privacy, and only intervent if that turns out to be a serious problem. So, no serious disagreements. Although I think your point about nurture vs. nature kind of contradicts your own stance.
