Focus on Better Behavior

Are you a parent that cringes every time your child wants to walk down the street and around the block to the 7-Eleven? Does your child think you don’t trust them because you won’t let them ride their bike 2 miles to their friend’s soccer game? Many parents make their children very reliant on them, never being able to become independent and do for themselves. You can’t monitor everything in their lives, but you want to protect them. Save the paranoia for the real scary stuff! You don’t want to hold a child back because of your own fears, you want them to be self-reliant.
