Im 59, didnt grow up on a farm or homestead but small rural town. It was like go out n play, come back b4 dark. We are the generation of survivors that have lived through more than most nowdays could imagine.
I didn’t catch the drag show part, I think I missed that part. I don’t believe in helicopter parenting, but it is my job to protect my children and to be aware of my child’s surroundings. A balance is needed. I agree that media is really good at scaring us and I agree that parents shove their children in too many activities and do not allow free play. However, I still have to watch out for my daughters safety and who she hangs out with. Depending on where you live playing in the front yard may not be a good idea.
We’re in a upper middle class-lower upper class subdivision, where most streets are not linked to through streets (ones in and out of the neighborhood). There’s many parents I know who don’t let their kids play outside of their own yard. Which is crazy to me because I grew up in the country where I biked 20 minutes to go to friends’ homes. I also hung out in the woods behind the farm.
I absolutely love this! My dad even used to leave a pile of "lumber" and a bucket with nails and a hammer out for us to build anything we wanted to try!
Wow! I found found this talk so interesting! Thank you for sharing a unique perspective on parenting. I love a lot of what was said, I think kids do need free time to be creative and play without parents hovering over them. But I also think it's important to note that sex trafficking (as one example) is a real thing and parents are responsible for the children God entrusts them with, and I don't think that should be taken lightly. I also realize like y'all said, that the media does scare people on purpose as a way to bring in more views, and control. That said, I just think there needs the be a healthy, safe balance between the two. Thanks again for this podcast! I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying it!😀
I'm definitely not a helicopter parent once my kids are at least 7 years old and they're with their siblings. My kids play freely on our 24 acres and walk to and from their friends down the street. However, I've also listened to a speaker who is a former federal agent who worked on cases on crimes against children. Also, use to live in southern Arizona where child trafficking is high. According to this woman, she won't even let her child before than a few feet from her when in public. I personally am somewhere in-between both of these ladies. A balanced approach that assesses the environment for safety is best.
I thought this video was going to be right up my alley but wow talk about survivor bias! We can take the necessary steps to protect our children without interfering with their independence and individuality. To say that it doesn't happen much so it doesn't matter is just so wrong. Do we need to live a paranoid life afraid of everything so much that we can't let our children live? No but I think it's wrong to claim it hardly happens or hey it never happened to me! It hasn't happened to you until it does.
Statistics wont matter to you when your kids go missing or get hurt. I get that we should not hover over kids and instead find a safe environment where they can play. Of course not everyone has that luxury so instead we have to take our kids to venues where they can play. As far as NY city goes, there may not be many kidnappings but there are some wild things going on there to just let kids roam free.

Both men and women are forced to do more. Humans came up with labor saving devices and, instead of saying we don't have to work so much now, we said we can produce so much more now! Another thing I believe: The human species got where they got through a desire for co-operation and peace. Most humans don't want to hurt another human. However, I'm finding this fear that everyone would "return to wild base desires" if there were no rules is common. Especially among "preppers".
Who is a “helicopter parent” by todays standards? I am. To me, that means a TEACHER. You have to assume other kids and teachers are not responsible for teaching your kids ANYTHING, because no one on this earth will ever love them like a teaching parent. They are a full-pledged ministry. There tons of kids running around, where I’m the one like, “Yikes they need supervision!” Or kids are able to change their gender but can’t vote for another 10 years. Stop treating them like independent adults! You only have one chance to teach them a ton of life skills. Not just sport skills where a coach babysits them, but real life skills like changing a tire by the time they are a teen. Or, how to decide the number of plates, napkins, and silverware they need to plan a BBQ. This shows empathy, preparation, problem-solving, and arithmetic too. They become a leader who also serves. I’m telling you… teach a child to care about changing a flat and setting a table, and they will be one of the most courteous kids on a sports team too! Give their mind on-purpose discipline & they will thank you when they are older. Depression and self-inflicted death rates are higher due to gender confusion, school agendas, and junk these days- not because parents are close by! How about PLAY WITH your kids instead of shooing them away. You want to farm, teach them to farm alongside you. Teach them skills that will take a while to master and gives you free time down the road, but at least you have that memory. Train a dog together, then the child can take over in a few years. Fold laundry together and then it can become their chore. Teach them to pray so they can learn how to troubleshoot their problems in a better way. BE A PART OF THE PROCESS. They are only little once, then you have the rest of your life to do your thing without them. I wish I had memories of my parents teaching me more things and doing things together. If you expect them to go play ball with their friends, it should only be after you taught them several ball game rules and give them the best chance at being one of the better players. Parents want other kids to raise their children, or raise themselves IN STEAD of laying the ground to best prepare them. It’s a two-way street. It’s like planning a fire escape route in case there is a fire. Or how to dial 911. You don’t just expect your kid to know what to do. TEACH them first. This part was missing here. Treating children like a nuance is not helpful. And yes, bad things happen quite often. It only takes one time.
My kids grow up in Utah totally free range I never new what mountain range they were on. They just new after they did their chores. They had to be home by dark . And yes they have had their fair share of stitches and broken bones typical boys .

Great concept and I know I've been guilty of it myself. It's amazing the power the media has over us.

I feel like that was all very confusing.
I bet Lenore is really clean! (uk folks will understand)
"always doing something for someone else" sound's like adult life.
My kids grow up in Utah totally free range I never new what mountain range they were on. They just new after they did their chores. They had to be home by dark . And yes they have had their fair share of stitches and broken bones typical boys .
What!? No one came to the comment section to point out that King Tut was indeed kidnapped by strangers?
Sigh.
Did Lenore ever state how many children she has raised?
How many children does Lenore have?
Two.
is there a point here?
You must not have your volume up
