I totally overprotect my kid. I try hard not to overdue it, but it is like fighting gravity. She is the only kid I have or will ever have.
I still encourage her to go have adventures on her own, but she will always be correctly seatbelted in a car, helmeted on a bike or scooter, and supervised while playing out of doors.
I was allowed to run around in the wilderness, pretty much literally, from ages 6 to 18. I got chewed up by razor wire, stepped on a rust nail also like Losty, but outside, bitten by more than one stupid neighbor dog, almost drowned when I fell in the canal out back of our house, and really nearly died in a car crash at age 17, where my friend was driving recklessly.
I think it's amazing anyone lives through their teens.
