One side hate and one is hope<\/p>\n
I am speaking with an old and dear friend about the job of raising children, and she reminds me how much f a balancing act it is. don’t spoil her, don’t deprive her. Don’t protect her from everything, don’t let her hurt herself too badly. Don’t make her afraid of everything, don’t prevent her from developing healthy fears. The balance between the appropriate freedom and the appropriate control is tough.
