Did you have overly protective parents growing up? Or are you one, if you are a parent?

My parents themselves were in no way overly protective. Must say one of the babysitters was however. Yet after the babysitters, I was a latch key kid at 12.

I don't have any kids, yet I doubt I would be overly protective.

Kids need to learn and figure things out for themselves. Yet some oversight is needed. Just not to the extent of being overly protective.

Better be overseen, with some mistakes, than to not learn at all.
