Thank you so much for sharing your story about your philosophy on free range children. I wish you a happy New Year and hope that you are not attacked by too many trolls on here.

I worked in the child welfare system for almost 9 years and have had the benefit of working with several different types of families, ethnicities, cultures, beliefs, religions, and backgrounds. I do see what you are reporting, that I was asked to go in and judge every single one of my families based on their practices. And the Judgment was up to what the state felt the answers to the questions should be. I think it is a great idea to also document all the love that you give in life and to your family. There are a lot of children in the system that don't have these memories.
