The moral to this story, is that common sense is the most important guide to parenting. If it looks like fire, burns like fire, chances are it is fire. Use common sense, regardless of all the left and right viewpoints of the so called experts. There is no harm in allowing freedom so a child can grow and learn. There must however be restraints for their safety as well as ours.
Children are our greatest resources and our tomorrows.
Parenting was never an easy task but it is a responsibility and a social commitment.
