These kids are less likely to succumb to peer pressure or engage in risky behavior” (Zagata par. 3 and 4). While Rosin doesn’t touch on academics so much in her article, she would say that this type of parenting style “strips” children of learning and growing on their own. That you cannot always tell a child no and never let them learn the consequences that come from engaging in certain behaviors, which is something found throughout Rosins’ article. “Reasonable risks are essential for children’s healthy development”, says Joe Frost, an influential safety crusader (Rosin, “Reasonable Risks” … Title). “If we are strict as parents all the time, we hinder their development because “In the real world, life is filled with risks—financial, physical, …show more content…
