You cannot give kids total freedom, because they cannot accept total responsibility.
With all due respect, it looks like you maybe didn't read until the end, where I deal with this briefly. Of course kids are not adults yet, capable of dealing with any and every problem. I figured it went without saying.
I would hope that in a generation, that we would have people who couldn't relate to Pink Floyd's The Wall
Me too!
Jiyuu ga ii - I wouldn't translate this the way you did..
My son speaks Japanese. You mean my English translation of it?
You did a pretty good talking about the subject.
But, you never stated the obvious... but, it is often the obvious that others, peering into this new paradigm miss. So, I did, in fact state the obvious.
Yes, I was speaking about your english translation of it.
I also, cannot think of a better translation. Except, to sound like Yoda.
Pretty sure I stated what I wanted to state...and the "obvious" i.e. "freedom doesn't mean allowing your child to run into traffic." Well, whatever floats your boat, comment-wise, I guess.
