I'm not worried about dirt or falls, they happen. But I don't want my child to be the bully or to push and shove. I wanted them to learn manners and how to properly play with others. Now I "fly" around my grandkids. We do have fun playing together.Mama Carmodyhttp://lovetolaughandlearn.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398738961444639112.post-82718937867341063712015-07-02T01:03:44.998-05:002015-07-02T01:03:44.998-05:00Really as long as your kids are happy and don´t re...Really as long as your kids are happy and don´t resent your helicoptering, who cares right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557405229693474407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398738961444639112.post-51376224856475515672015-07-01T19:24:11.865-05:002015-07-01T19:24:11.865-05:00I think I'm a bit of both, but I always remind...I think I'm a bit of both, but I always remind myself that they have to learn how to handle it on their own and accept the consequences.

Part of it I think is because I had my first three kids very close together and it just wasn't possible to hover over them! Then my first two boys were very determined to do many naughty and risky things, and I think I just had to kind of accept that or lose my mind! Even so, I sometimes see other people and think that they should hover more! It's easy to make judgments about other people's parenting but we all need to do what works for us and our families.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398738961444639112.post-63007367547887041812015-07-01T14:12:59.882-05:002015-07-01T14:12:59.882-05:00I fluctuate between the extremes but I do know the...I fluctuate between the extremes but I do know the feeling of other moms judging!! My daughter is very cautious and I kind of hovered over her. My son is crazy and climbs all over everything and I have found myself much more relaxed with him, sitting on the bench even looking at my phone sometimes, but then he will do something and I feel the other moms looking! It's crazy how much we judge each other.jenhttp://breastfeedingneeds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398738961444639112.post-221747252123904102015-07-01T14:02:38.403-05:002015-07-01T14:02:38.403-05:00I see both sides of the coin.

I'm not sure how much I would hover if I had my own. I think in the beginning it would be really bad, but then let up over time.Karyl Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084533060381082171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398738961444639112.post-26718642294627738072015-07-01T14:02:30.060-05:002015-07-01T14:02:30.060-05:00I can be an overprotective mom too.
