This follows the for-me-not-for-thee principle:
- The parent who grew up in the <more rugged years> self-identify as a tough rugrat who had fun and was fearless; not a wuzz like those modern kids (“kids” here excludes their own)
- But the parent would rather that their kids be safe than to have to pain themselves worrying about them constantly
- JackMorgan 2y agoPerhaps the modern parent must learn the difficult task of slowly trusting the unsupervised child the same way the unsupervised child must learn to trust themselves. This seems a difficult ask, but it's possible and probably very healthy for all involved.
