This blog post argues that children also need freedom in their lives. The author emphasizes that while it's essential to ensure the safety and well-being of children, it's equally important to allow them the freedom to explore, make choices, and develop their independence. The post highlights the negative consequences of over-parenting and the lack of freedom for children, such as decreased self-confidence and resilience. It suggests that allowing children to have age-appropriate independence and autonomy can positively contribute to their development and overall well-being.
