Being overprotective is always annoying children.So you’d better not be such although it’s normal for all parents form my point of view.

Hi Dawn!
I’m somewhere in between… I try to let go… but it’s hard. My mom is pretty laid back almost tooo laid back so this is where my mama instincts start kicking in and I want to be in control. At the end of the day, it’s usually harmless but sometimes I do have to put my foot down! LOL! *deep breaths, deep, deep breaths*

I am very laid back. I was way over protective of my oldest child but now I am pretty laid back and have let go a lot. I still watch to make sure all three are breathing when they are sleeping though, and my oldest is 7! LOL

Other than that maybe having my oldest visit her father every other weekend has allowed me to let go easier since she is not always home with me. IDK. Great article!

I agree with Mom. If one smothers ones kids and tries to protect them from everything, they grow up to be wimps, and unable to cope with issues themselves. besides, one CAN’T protect them from everything, and if one tries, they are so ‘weak’ from letting you do all the ‘protecting’ and making life easy for them, that they do not know how to cope with adversity as well as some kids who have had a few hard knocks. ‘Sides, you’ll drive yourself crazy trying – like shoveling against the tide.
