It's a good thing you live somewhere where crime is minimal. But then again, sometimes you don't hear certain things.<br /><br />The questions were more examples than rules. So long as children have the freedom to come to their parents when something is truly bothering them and aren't afraid to tell, it is a good thing. :) This is the kind of "heart knowledge" I'm talking about. If a parent doesn't know their child well enough to take anything they feel to share, it only damages their relationship, and could ultimately damage the child.Jasmine Ruigrokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976708690026168727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755209147403169584.post-28741807355872371972012-09-05T10:48:27.145+10:002012-09-05T10:48:27.145+10:00I don't know the answers to those questions ab...I don't know the answers to those questions about me, and I'm me. <br /><br /> My parents knew where I was and were always with me until I was 8 or so, I think, then they let me have more freedom and roaming. They've raised me to be independent and take care of myself, and if anyone tries to hurt me, to beat the living daylights out of them. And get a CCW, just in case I need some extra firepower. <br /><br />But I live in a much different place than you do. The crime in my town is composed almost entirely out of teenage hooliganism. <br /><br />And I happen to know several people with abusive parents, including my adopted cousin. So, perhaps, I'm a bit too cynical.

Thankyou for reading and for your c...Hello there! <br /><br />Thankyou for reading and for your comment. :) Generally I don't like to use the term 'shelter' but rather, 'protect'. I believe there is a difference between the two. I may not have clarified properly in that I *did* get time to myself - a LOT of time to myself! :D My parents weren't fretful worriers who hovered by my elbow every minute of the day. I got plenty of time to sit and read by myself, play childish games by myself, ride my pony, climb trees, etc. etc. The point I was making was that my parents always knew where I was, and that they paid special attention as to where I was if there were people around. I.e., Hours and hours didn't pass without them not caring where I was. The sad truth is that you can't always be safe in your own home so it pays to keep an eye on your children when there are outsiders around.<br /><br />It's not that children can't be raised with more freedom, but the fact of that matter is that it isn't always safe. If you were raised differently and enjoyed it, that is awesome! I'm so glad that you had a great childhood. :D But I personally know of people who have had - and still have - horrible childhoods because of parents' lack of protection and love. That is what I was addressing in this article. :)<br /><br />I hope that clears it up some for you. :)Jasmine Ruigrokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976708690026168727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755209147403169584.post-70983611947838910692012-08-30T10:29:50.730+10:002012-08-30T10:29:50.730+10:00So...I am curious. :) Do you think all parents sh...So...I am curious. :) Do you think all parents should shelter their children in the same ways, and extent that your parents have done with you? Because, quite frankly, I was raised differently (and enjoyed it) and find the idea of never having a minute by myself very disturbing...:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755209147403169584.post-58785177650671599832012-08-27T21:07:38.370+10:002012-08-27T21:07:38.370+10:00Thankyou so much for reading, Bethany!!
