and what effect is it going to have on our country?. Are we eventually going to end up a nation of people who can't do anything for themselves?
"The McCann effect" has really made people think and act in a very weird way, common sense has gone out the window. People are so terrified of how other people will judge them as parents to the extent that they don't let their kids be normal.
I live in a in UK city. Today, I went to walk my kids to the bus stop to pop them on a bus to school. My son is 11 and my daughter is 9. Their school is a mile away, I walk them to the bus stop near our home, they walk 200 yards to the school at the other side
Just as I had jumped off the bus having payed their fare and waved them bye, this woman said to me "you let them go by themselves?" and started tutting and giving me the stink-eye. I let them do things for themselves because they have to learn in gradual stages . If I deprived them of that wouldn't it be unkind?
