Read the thread. Evan’s right, on all points.
One of the hardest things I have to continuously learn as a parent is that I have to let them fail.
I probably should have let them fail more, sooner.
Part of treating children as human beings means simply reminding yourself that the younger version of you would have hated to have been surveilled 24/7, and that your sense of self is formed in part through privacy from others.
We parent well when we let our children find themselves.
