The Day I Realized I Had To Stop Being So Overprotective ([link removed])

Every year, Laura Onstot goes on a family lake trip. And every year, that involves inner tubing on a big red float dubbed “Big Mabel.” She writes: “This was the first year we let our 7-year-old daughter go tubing without me sitting next to her, with a death grip on her leg. As a former lifeguard, anything that requires being pulled behind a boat is high on my danger radar. And as a mom, watching her tube is far outside my comfort zone. It’s one of the rare moments in parenthood where I can see her, but have no way of communicating with her aside from a few hand signals.”

So when her daughter went flying off the tube, Laura freaked out a little bit. But what happened next led her to a valuable realization. You’ll want to read this one.
