Becoming Overprotective with Children

With everything that parents hear about the dangers of abuse, how can you possibly avoid being overprotective with your children?

Answer:

We all have to remember as parents that overprotectiveness and excessive fear can make our children feel helpless, whether about sexual assault or any of the other dangers that life holds. Information, common sense, and keeping lines of communication open with your children are much more productive than succumbing to irrational fear.
