I think I warned my kids about certain things, but not to the extent my mom warned us. My kids have a few odd fears, but from the time they were small, they LOVED scary movies, and I let them watch them at probably a much too young age. But I figured if it didn't bother them, why not? And they grew up well-adjusted, for the most part. :-)Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-11038123591820679402013-10-09T22:00:02.404-04:002013-10-09T22:00:02.404-04:00So true, Margo!So true, Margo!Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-88631041825221657902013-10-09T20:37:30.582-04:002013-10-09T20:37:30.582-04:00My mother said all those things too.

I had no trouble with going to the top of the Twin Towers before they were destroyed, but the Grand Canyon causes me to break out in a drenching sweat. Not all lessons come from our mothers. Some come from within.

LOL With my son, I went totally the opposite. That got me a daredevil who feared nothing and had me scared most of my life. Still I kept my mouth shut. He's thanked me since he's grown. Now I get to see how he'll do it with his daughter. She's 7 months old and so far he's one nervous pervous!Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-29358367153762465362013-10-09T14:55:25.718-04:002013-10-09T14:55:25.718-04:00Same here - those maternal warnings.

But yes, new discoveries are around every corner, and one I've made is that I can have fears, but that doesn't mean I have to let my fears have me.
