Re: Does Society Overprotect Children?
For years I kept my nephew after school. And I was one of those people who never let him get out of sight and hearing for any length of time.
BUT I lived 4 blocks from a man who had been convicted of raping a teenage boy! I think that I had a bit of an excuse.
I hope that I didn't warp him too much. He was a shy, insecure toddler. So I also dragged him to parks and playgrounds and taught him how to make friends with other children and encouraged him to climb to the top of the play towers. So maybe it balanced out.
