I’m one of those moms that do ask my kid to watch out, in case they fall! But not too often, only when I see that she didn’t see the danger/ step/ gap. I’m wondering if kids get less able to watch out for themselves if parents are watching over them? Cos there are times I purposedly kept mum and my toddler does fall down.

And being very stress mom of an eczema child, I really do want one less thing to have to take care of, especially, when managing her skin is already a round the clock job. Any suggestion, do let me know on my blog. Thanks!

Love this post! There are a lot of “helicopter parents” who are well-meaning – but I love the way you encourage folks to let kids be happy and explore.

Yes indeed…stress in contagious and so is calm..So great to be able to show our children “how to step out of stress.”

Great article. It’s all about balance! Many parents don’t leave enough time for their kids to stop and smell the flowers. On the other hand, some don’t give their kids enough responsibility. Reminding parents that kids need time to be kids is important!

I hear you basically saying that in order for our kids to be stress-free, parents have to be stress-free first! When I stress, it stresses my kids, even at 18,21, and 24. The only difference when they are older, is that they tell you that you are stressing them! Breathe deep. Relax. Enjoy. Pray. When I can step out of the stress, my kids step out of it too.

Great blog!!! Today’s kids need more time to do nothing!!! Watch the clouds make pictures in the sky and listen to the grass grow; when I was a farm boy, we could hear the corn grow! Adults need that same kind of tme; that’s why I put benches in my garden. Thanks for bringing back memories and inspiring parents to let their kids and themselves be kids!
