I read on article on the web which documents the reasons as listed below why parents should not worry over certain things with regards to their children.
As follows:- The top five things parents worry about happening to their kids couldn’t be more wrong, says the author of the Paranoid Parents Guide.
With statistics at her fingertips, Christie Barnes says parents agonize most over:
- Kidnapping
- School sniper
- Terrorists
- Dangerous strangers
- Drugs
And what are the real top-five dangers lurking for children?
- Car accidents
- Homicide (by someone they know
- Abuse
- Suicide
- Drowing
To read the entire article go to :- http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/familyhealth/children’shealth/article/861524–top-5-things-parents-shouldn-t-worry-about
I would be very interesting to learn whether the author of the book ‘Paranoid Parents Guide‘. has children because if they do they must realise that the climate in which we reside makes of much more than paranoid when it come to our children.
The newspaper article that has been around in the last decade, of course reinforce parent to become paranoid. One cannot help but be alarmed at the number of children that have been kidnapped and some subsequently murdered, some that have been sent to school and have been murdered by classmates, columbine springs to mine, so forgive us if we believe that our children are in eminent dangers and cloaked them, which means over-protecting then.
I am very skeptical of this report and regardless of the dangers that the articl believe that we, as parents should be more focused on I still believe that they are all equally as bad as the other.
I have give the link for parent to read the entire report and just for themselves whether their concerns are paranoid or not.
