@paulg Agreed. Concern is natural, but too much holds back natural process of growing up. Pendulum needs to swing back a bit. @petulad

@paulg there's an adorable Japanese TV show called roughly "First Errand", where kids as young as 3 are sent out "alone" to the store etc.

@paulg being responsible is a quality that people should start learning as kids, not adults.

@paulg we would stay outside all day. As long as we were home by the time the sun set. I'd be a criminal for raising my kids the same way!

@paulg This is even a thing? My kids will be outside kids. If it's good enough for the cat... #notaparent

@paulg How does your status as a well-known-person and decently-rich-guy factor into this?
