Regret Gravity
Sorry if I misplaced your gender but my advice holds true for either!
You are not doing your kids any favours by loading your own fears or restrictions onto them !
I was lucky in having a mum who within reason let me do what I wanted to do including building a tree house 20feet above ground when I was seven / my ex was brought up by over cautious parents and was scared of everything from
Birds to putting in weight with resulting eating disorders and a bad case of panic attacks and not being able to leave the house!
So beware your fears are based on real danger and not perceived as the worst you can do is to load your own kids with your own fears
