I so much agree with you Janet about "sitting back and watching your kids make mistakes". It is truly important for them, as they "hopefully" learn by their mistakes and move forward. It's all about life...
Having 5 kids I see that some don't make as many mistakes and their own bumps in life are not that bad (so far)...
Then I have a couple kids (who take after me) and take that LONG road, hitting every bump and ripple imaginable. Not taking notice the first time the stumbling took place and have to stumble a few more times, LOL. But in the end I see them learning and that's all that matters.
