  • My position is that if at the end of a day your kid still has the same amount of limbs and eyes, it’s fine. My kids are 8 and 10 now, they’re active, and they more or less know what’s dangerous and what’s not, because they fell of things face-first a couple of times.
    Overprotecting can also be dangerous just for development. When my daughter was like 5, she had a friend af the same age, a girl who DIDN’T LEARN HOW TO RUN, because her mom was scared for her. I’m happy we didn’t go crazy about safety. Your kid wants to jump off a cupboard? You can just comment that it could be painful, and maybe show a picture of a fractured ankle x-ray.
