This follows the for-me-not-for-thee principle:

- The parent who grew up in the <more rugged years> self-identify as a tough rugrat who had fun and was fearless; not a wuzz like those modern kids (“kids” here excludes their own)

- But the parent would rather that their kids be safe than to have to pain themselves worrying about them constantly

Perhaps the modern parent must learn the difficult task of slowly trusting the unsupervised child the same way the unsupervised child must learn to trust themselves.

This seems a difficult ask, but it's possible and probably very healthy for all involved.
