It is true that were are WAY too protective over our kids now a days.

I at least let Wolfette (11) walk to a neighborhood school (about 1/2 mile away) to play handball, but I do give her a phone and a time to be back. I'm being more lenient than most, or so I've heard from other parents, but she has to learn some kind of independence even in this day and age. I don't want her living here in our home all her life!

I've got her in Private School right now, but her father and I have discussed sending her to Public School for 7th grade on, so she won't be so protected and can make some of her own decisions (and mistakes).

I applaud the Dad in this article, I don't think I would be that trusting, but I do wish I could.
