Dare it or leave it..

Many parents swing as far as the growing up of their children is concerned. Sould they be overprotected, so as to save them from maniac kidnappers and from crazily running cars trying to knock them down? Or they should better risk and leave their children experience the life’s dangers, get over their fears, live their childhood and become more resilient, risking at the same time to "lose" them..?

It is absolutely normal for parents to feel afraid and to worry about their kids. Often media infest our brains with scary news, where kids got lost, where kids live in dangerous society etc.. but does it function if parents transmit their fears to their children by overreacting?

Adults kill adults, adults kill kids, mothers strangle kids, kids kill theis classmate..Do we live in a mad world? Are we all lust-to-kill people? And where are the social workers in this whole crazy story? Actually these are the easy targets, for the media! “why didn't you do something?”

Two are the conclusive points:

~The risk per child is low, and we are in danger of stealing our children’s childhood by overreacting, and by being overprotective

~There is a tiny cadre of extremely dangerous men/women and everyone must be worried about the exceptional risks they pose.
