It's really concerning that everyone treats their children like prisoners. Your kids are gonna find a way to look at what they want anyway, why make it MORE appealing to them by making it verboten? Are you protecting them or are you controlling them?



Some kids (and adults) literally aren’t capable of impulse control. It’s actually nice to be able to hand that control over to somebody else in some cases. And, as a parent if I know my child struggles with this it would be negligent of me to let them harm themselves knowing they can’t stop themselves. I have four children and if there is any generalization about raising kids that I have learned it is that each child has different needs.
