I always felt my goal in raising my daughters was to have them reach adulthood with the ablilty to make good choices. That meant letting them make unwise ones and suffer the results. Doing everything for them sure won"t teach them anything which is why I had no problem with them dropping out of 4H. After my oldest had her car for 1 month and repeatly being told to slow down on the gravel she flipped it in the ditch after loosing control on the gravel. It was a good experience because now she is a cautious driver. But she might not have walked away. It is tough but better than them reaching adulthood never having to made a real choice. At least you have some control over their choices and some limits. When they try to learn these after being adults they can really get into trouble.
