I would agree with much of this, although it's hard to figure out the right balance. Sometimes I think my parents spent too much time letting me watch the nightly news with them. Body counts from the Viet Nam war, the assassinations of '68, etc. I found it scary.
As a parent I pay more attention to other kids, and it's surprisingly easy to spot kids who appear headed for a rough road and natural to want to protect your kids from a similar fate. On the other hand, part of life is making mistakes. Still, there are some mistakes I won't mind my kids making, and some I would prefer they not make.
