As a parent of twenty somethings,I would advise parents not to pressure their kids to do anything much unless it's really stupid dangerous (not just dangerous). Wouldn't/didn't pressure them to do homework. Bit my tongue as they jumped of rocks into seething oceans and rocketed down mountain trails beside ravines. Half of the battle of parenting is not passing on your own fears to the kids.

BIT my tongue. Maybe should have written "your own fears", not just neurotic fears, hard to differentiate really.
Whats the other half?
