Ooph, scary stuff those times can be. I definitely would not call that bad parenting, especially since when you found out the danger you tried to tell them to not come. I am often the one trying to get others from "over-protecting" my son, since he's getting to the age that he needs to start making some of his own decisions and learning how to do things himself, obviously within reason. Plus, I think anyone getting their kids to engage with nature instead of plopping them in front of the TV is doing a damn good job, regardless if they send them down icy mountainsides ;)

I try not to be over protective. I don't want her to grow up sheltered and not willing to take a risk...that said...I could have done without that panic :) Oh well....I'm old as dirt and I'm still learning.
