Although I try not to shield him from things, I don't allow him to go gallavanting like I did. We were a group of intrepid kids - got into alot of messes but found the right solutions to get out.

Although nowadays 'we're' more cautious, we're not letting our kids earn & learn their street smarts at a young age. For this reason, I like to be 100% honest with him so even if he doesn't do what we did *thank heavens* - he will know what we did to solve it. Hopefully, knowing is better than not knowing although experience is the best teacher.
