some parents dont bother with their kids at all, this shows that you do care about them

but what happens when the child has to go out into the world, they will have been sheltered too much

by that time hopefully they're ready to make the right choices and decisions. unless they're locked up in a hole, they're gonna know what's out there, and what to expect, for the most part.

Can you shelter your kids too much? I guess if you paint the facade to them that there are no problems in this world, but I don't think you should let your kids have free reign so they will be able to go into the world unsheltered.

A kid let loose is a disaster waiting to happen. In this like all things there is balance but it is a parents duty to their kids to guide them and keep them out of trouble.

I agree. I think if you give your kids a good Christian foundation they will be able to face the real world.

This reminds me of the story from 197 AD of Tertullian exercising a demon out of a young Christian girl who had been possessed after attending the theater. When confronted, the demon replied, "and in truth I did it most lawfully for I found her in my domain". Be careful what and where you let those, who's salvation you are charged with (men), wander into

I agree that kids can be "too sheltered". I believe it's important to teach our kids discernment, and discernment cannot be taught in a Christian bubble. However, it isn't taught by just letting them go and do whatever, with whomever, whenever.

So far, our strategy has been to do things with our kids. They can watch non-Christian shows and read non-Christian books, but we either watch/read with them, or review it first. And, we talk things over. They can go over to friends houses, but only when we know the parents. (Easy for us in our tiny community!)

Still, there are plenty of times when "NO!" rules the day, and we do expect the kids to respect that, even if they don't like it.

I just found out why that show was such a concern. That is B Spears pregnant little sister playing the role.
