As a parent of two young children, the author feels compelled to protect them from potential dangers, likening his caution to the Terminator's threat assessment. He reflects on his transition from risk-taking in youth to overprotectiveness, leading to overwhelming anxiety about various hazards in everyday situations. Despite these fears, he acknowledges the necessity of allowing children to navigate challenges and learn through experience, promoting their independence and development, and embracing a modern understanding of parenting that balances safety with growth.
However, I'm learning to let the kids figure out and do things for themselves.
