Long as he doesn't seriously injure himself, hurt anyone else, or wreck anything, we let him learn. We also let him work out issues with his little friends, when appropriate. But it's a case by case basis. And we learn as much as he does in the process...if not more. .-= Trish´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.notesfromthebunker.com/?p=4221" rel="nofollow">Out of the frying pan…</a> =-.

I'm one of six kids, and thank GOD every day I survived because I wouldn't have blamed my mom for trading one or a few of us in. The whole "touch the hot stove" - same here, we call it "letting him learn that lesson." And I hope one day he's NOT picked for the soccer team, as well. The world has winners and losers. It's the way it is. (Remind me of this in a couple of years) And um, I hope my kid is never rubbing his string cheese on anyone. Ahem. Parenting is such a crazy beast.

Wesley says it to the Princess when she thinks he's still Dread Pirate Roberts. Also? I hear you - I have a 6-yr old, and it's just the same. Only more so. Oh please, amateur – Princess Bride.
