Yes, the ramifications of our actions as parents can be pretty scary and unknown so I’m always trying to trust my daughters’ instincts and be led by their internal wisdom. I’ve got more chance of getting it right and getting their cooperation if I do so.
There’ll be times they will make bad decisions I’m guessing, but I’ll not be standing there going “See! What did I tell you?” in a triumphant & perhaps frantic recinforcement of my own freedom from responsibility in the matter. I’ll be no better off being ‘in the clear’ that way as I’ll still have to watch them suffer the consequences of their mistakes and I’m in a better position to help if I’m not crowing in an angry voice “SEE!”
