Great advice @kaerpediem! I needed to hear this about the hovering. I tend to do this quite often being at home all the time. I want my kids to grow independently so I need to keep this in mind.

As an adult I am afraid of quite a bit because my parents hovered over me and over exaggerated certain things which made me scared to even leave the house at times. 😬 I’m grateful they were protective but being overprotective does backfire sometimes.
