Hello Esther

Thanks for your message. I know what you mean. I was petrified of LL hurting herself originally and I fully admit to being a helicopter parent for a good while and then it seemed that I was actually hindering her progress. She is now super careful and scared of some things that kids her age normally aren't.

Kids need to be able to be kids. It was a very difficult thing for me to have to learn but now that she's almost 5, I have to let her do her thing and experience childhood, that comes with a few bumps, cuts and bruises.
