OVER PARENTING

Federal, state and local governments have followed a cultural trend and not only stripped us parents of freedoms, but also encouraged perversion of our choices. I heard the author of “Free Range Kids” discuss the 4 major causes of over-protection of our children in today’s politically correct world: 1. The media, 2. Lawyers, 3. Experts, 4. Obsession with pedophiles. So do we kill all four and not just the lawyers? Culturally, yes. If it were not for inflated drama from the media, unnecessary litigation from lawyers, misrepresentations from experts and an exaggerated concern over pedophiles, our society would be able to attempt to re-visit the sanity and morality of the 50's ideal world. What’s wrong with ideas exceeding our grasp? What’s wrong with aspiring to better, rational, grown-up parents?
