A child has to be 'responsible' for its own decision making. Should it climb? Should it trust? Should it , one billion things? Through trusting and being 'responsible' for itself, it walks into itself. If the 'responsibility' it has for itself is overshadowed by another's protection, another's feeling 'responsible' for it's very existence, then lack of self worth enters in followed by an entourage of misdemeanors that eventually leave one depleted and lacking in confidence that they are able to perform anything at all for or by themselves. So we ask now, do you think it wise to have, much worse take responsibility for another? For it is not yours to take. Do not misunderstand us, to provide and care for is another matter but there is a fine line.
They must learn and understand responsibilities and irresponsibilities.....
Sheilding them from this, is a failure to bring them up into a world full of upheavals they could or would not know how to problematically deal with the situation or task at hand.
It is the duty of care to all custodians/guardians that must teach their young from their humble beginnings into their future beginnings how to think for themselves. the sooner the better. But it is never to late to learn.
Ignoring this or blaming them or others to protect or sheild them from error is erroneous to their soul.
