  1. MsRandomBubble There is a line to be drawn, between kids who are independent and kids who don't understand how to operate in society. In fact, I'd say 'free-range' kids have that in common with sheltered kids— they weren't given the necessary tools to thrive in the modern-day world. While one has no confidence, the other has no knowledge. Allowing your kids to try things in their own is fine, but not giving them a framework within which to behave (and within which the rest of society operates) is arguably worse than being overprotective. It's easier to build your confidence than to learn 20 years of life skills for the first time.
