I agree with you to some degree. Let kids be kids, that's fine. They need to know some limits though. Like skateboarding down a steep hill, especially with traffic around is probably not a good idea. Most likely they could be killed. Hopefully, they will have enough common sense not to do something like that, but it'd be nice to know before you let them out of the house with their skateboard.

you can only prepare them for so many variables... i think for me the point is giving them the tools to find their own boundaries... obviously the younger they are the more you helicopter... but with age...the rope goes further and further out as they say. worrying about your kids is a given... how much space given vs. how much they benefit from this helicopter parenting is the the trick i guess.
