This may sound weird
But the best thing you can do it make them uncomfortable.
We cannot grow without resistance. Everyone is coddled now, which is why we sadly have weak men chopping their penises.
Outdoor activities, camping, difficult hobbies, teaching them hands on skills, bible study, these are the things kids now aren't getting
Oh, I don't want them to be ignorant or unaware of the threats around them. But I also want to empathize there is so much beauty in the world to be experienced and to not neglect the balance.
I've been at this parenting deal for decades and, while always open to new ideas, I am comfortable I'm doing a pretty good job. I see how my grown children are living their lives and am pleased, they are functional and contributing members of society and bring me and others much joy.
Sounds like you've had a happy and successful life friend. Good on you, you're creations are a reflection of one's self.
Glad we turned this into positive
Well, I've had a life for better or worse. Where you are now I have been, and have been blessed beyond my deserving. Best wishes.
