Adults are terrible at evaluating risks to their kids, in this cultural moment erring hard on the side of total risk avoidance. I think instilling fear-compliance as a survival strategy is pretty harmful, but separately I think there's a high cost to having zero trust in children

Adults are also terrible at empathising with their children and generally have no idea why they do what they do.

I don't have kids, not for lack of trying. I'm around a few parents who don't menace their kids at all (and are also pretty cool on bribery). No broken necks yet. Do you think they must be negligent?
