PBA – I’m just curious – do you really get that stressed out from having your kids run around? I’m not at that stage of life yet, but I’m the worrying type and I always worry about what a paranoid mother I will be, and how that will affect my kids and my ability to allow them their freedom.
I could see where if you will be really nervous, it might be a good idea, but I still think that it is better not to be so nervous and give the kid his freedom (if possible).
What concerns me is the idea that this could become the norm and then for sure everyone will be nervous if they don’t do it, and ALL the kids will lose their freedom.
But what are we talking about – are we talking about something that is done all the time, or just in specific circumstances (like a family Chol HaMoed trip somewhere crowded and/or dangerous where the danger of losing track of family members is very real).
And what age are we talking about? 2 year olds? 4 year olds? 6 year olds?
