Are you a paranoid parent?

Do you find people accusing you of being "paranoid" in the way you deal with your children? Are you "over-protective"? Do you have "unreasonable" expectations with regard to your children's care or saftey? Have you heard the incessant "it's no big deal" or "lighten up" or "it will be fine" mantras? If this sounds familiar then you are in the right place. Let's pull up a chair and discuss our mutual paranoia, and in light of many recent examples, we can give ourselves a few pats on the back as well.

Keep your eyes open and remember, it happened to somebody, prepare in case it happens to you.
