 😂 I get your point. I guess when I read "letting" children be children, I didn't think it meant wrapping them in proverbial bubble wrap, because that's certainly no way to be a child. But yes, we should definitely not be shielding children from the realities of the world, and instead let them discover it (or guide them thought it?). It's the shielding that leads to adults never growing up imo.
