Something to add..... Do NOT be "overprotective" with the children. Children that are protected from every possibility of risk become afraid to function. We all survived with rare exception without many of the "safety" devices there are today. We didn't need to wear a helmet to ride a tricycle. There were no seat belts in my mother's 1948 Chevy. We were told not to play in or near the creek because it was dirty - not because we might drown.....at least that is what we were told. BUT - we did not need fences to keep us away. Mom said to stay away, and we knew she meant it. As to food - we had a policy at the dinner table: you eat what is put in front of you or you go hungry. That solved a lot of the "picky eater syndrome" that is tolerated today. It also solved a lot of the "food allergy" problems that seem to be so widespread and common today. One that has never been exposed to peanuts is more likely to develop the allergy in later years than one that was exposed at an early age.
My biggest concern today is that parents are barely allowed to discipline their children for fear of child abuse charges and more government interference. I say let the parents be the parents. There is a lot of truth in the old saying - "spare the rod and spoil the child."

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
