Stop overprotecting our children

By Julie Beun, Canwest News Service

"I can't remember the last time I saw kids playing in the woods. I really can't!" My step-mum's voice rose a notch in outrage. We were sitting in her living room recently, watching a blizzard blow over trees in the backyard.

Great article! Read it here.

  1. I love the part about "the man in the white van." My friends and I were always on the look out for the bad guy driving a white van.

  2. We often think back to our childhood experiences on the farm mom and dad both worked in town my sister and I got off the school bus and went out to the barn saddled our horses and off we went no one ever thought twice I would have been in grade 6 or 7 and my sister grade 1 or 2. Thinking back I would never leave my son alone on the farm with horses thinking of all the stuff that could go wrong and all the crazy stuff we did and never got hurt. Its hard to explain why we are so different from our parents even as grandparents they seem more concerned or protective. Just sharing random thoughts!
