parenting

My son's 17 months old. I think I'm protective of him but not overly so. I let him run around but i try to keep after him. My heart skips a bit whenever he falls though.

My eldest is 6 years old, before I was an overprotective mom with my son, but then I realized that he's not growing up to be a strong person. So I just let him loose, and do things on his own.

I have a son who is almost 8months old now.Of course I'm over protective on my son.He's my first born son and I would give my life for him. I'm into every firsts in my boy's life now and I don't want to risk anything.We always have him check up every now and then to make sure that my husband and I do everything well and that we are not overlooking anything.

I have a ten year old girl, eight year old boy, 7 year old girl, and a 3 year old boy. I'm the biggest overprotective mom I know. I don't let my kids play in our neighborhood, because of not knowing the parents. I don't let them go anywhere without their father, me, or their grandmother. I just can't afford anything to happen to them. My oldest three, I'm trying to adopt, but I've been with them for five years now. We are so overprotective, we are going to court right now to make sure their real mom doesn't have visitation with them not supervised. They were molested by people in her care. You can never be too overprotective. You never know who might hurt children these days.I might not ever let them go anywhere without an adult until they move out, but at least they understand why I'm this way. They love the idea and tell their friends all the time that I will protect them until the day I go to heaven. They feel secure and safe which is what children need the most.

We don't have kids yet (still trying hard):) but as early as now, my husband is saying that I can and will be an over protective mom, he's observed it when we're surrounded with kids..I always say "no, don't do that, no don't touch that.you might get hurt, you might fall? etc..Hubby said I might not let my child get out of my sight because I worry too much.

My daughter is 4 going on 5 and I am not over protective I am seriously strict. I expect her to behave and have manners and as a result she does behave and have wonderful manners. She tries to push the envelope all the time but she is learning that she has boundaries and is an amazing child. I expect her to hold my hand while in the store. Its a business not a play ground.

I can be very protective of my kids. They are only 3 and 2, but sometimes even when they are playing at the park I want to be right there with them incase they fall, lol..but then I realize they are big enough to be running around with the other kids!

I think I am somewhere in between. I have two boys, a 2 1/2 year old and a five month old. I tend to be protective of them because they are so young, but not really OVER protective. I try to let them discover things on thier own, and not push them too much, but I also discipline them consitently and expect (the 2 year old) them to listen when I know they are capable of it. I think if I am ever blessed with a girl, I may be more protective of her however.

I have a 5 1/2 year old daughter and an almost 2 year old son. I am protective of them, oh yes, in terms of, I don't let them go outside on their own. I keep sharp objects and stuff that could hurt them in places I know they can reach and/or find. but as much as possible I try to give them as much independence as I possibly could. In playing, for example, I try to as much as possible do not interfere when they play. I don't tell them not to run or jump up and down, I let them do their thing, even though I fear that they may hurt themselves get a bump in the head or scrapes and bruises. I generally let them do whatever they want. I just try to be there as much as I can to catch them if they fall or kiss their pain away when they do get scratches.

i'm very overprotective of my daughter but she's only 3 so i think that's ok. i've started loosening up a little cause i was driving my self crazy with worry when she was at her father's house.
