Lenore and Vicki have the answers for parents who are willing to let the panic and prevention mentality go. Lenore's message is helpful for the full range of worriers: from low-grade worrying parents all the way to the full throttle panic parents who spoon feed their 13 year-old kids - literally and figuratively. Hearing this made me aware of my lurking irrational, catastrophic thoughts about kids driving (two years away for the first one- pathetic!) and the more subtle range that I should initiate rather than wait to come up (competent bikers riding 7 miles to school on narrow roads). Moving forward with a more deliberate approach. I believe that avoiding media and news that fuels so much worry would bring the pulse down for most people. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
