I agree with Tink. You have to let him experience life and once in a while kids DO get hurt.

I know a couple of moms who are very over-protective. My daughter just has a fit when one of them is a sponsor on an outing. They can't do anything because "you know you might get hurt". That's not how me or my family wants to live our lives and, yes, we've had some accidents but they've been few and far between.
