Agree. And its important to find a doctor that would support that as well. For example our pediatrician actively looks down on parents that bring their kid in for every sniffle and has told me outright that it should be normal for kids to have bumps and bruises or even break a limb (of course in ways that are indicative of activity) as it shows the kid is developing across the board, including motor skills. > I didn't live it but my impression is that earlier Generations took more of a s* happens attitude and hope that it would be a learning experience I did and enjoyed that aspect and its one I want to allow my kids to experience. And the Pediatrician agrees. It goes hand in hand with why we are also avoiding overly competitive extra curriculars too, like baseball etc. I want them to be free after school to go play in the woods and be bored enough to get creative and explore the world around them.
