true to a point .. there is a hell of a lot of intervention when they are really small ... untill they understand that if a car runs over you .. you wont get back up like wile e coyote.
you wouldnt remember their input at that time because you were too young ..
but i totally agree with when they get older ...
the systems in place (society, school, work, etc) are all set to program your kid into being a well heeled part of a big machine.
individuality is not a prized commodity no mater what you think.
so most people are funnelled into their little channels .. wake up, go to work, come home, eat your meatloaf, watch friends and survivor, go to bed, then repeat....
I am trying to find the balance of making sure my kid understands enough not to kill himself but without hurting his creative side.
its not easy .. especially when they are small.
on the other hand ... Gren is completely off her rocker so i dont know about her folks :)
