....if I say:
- Don't jump up and down on the bed
- Don't leap off the furniture
- Don't run up and down the room at high speed not really looking where you are going
- Don't take scissors and sharp pencils upstairs, only use them at the table
- Leave bedroom doors open so I can hear what you are doing and know that you are safe
- No strings or rope like things upstairs in case you accidentally hang yourselves
- No running off ahead on the pavement while walking along the road, walk next to me so I can make sure you don't get run over.

...because I am very anxious and I worry if I'm being overcontrolling because of my anxiety when I don't need to be. It's hard for me to judge when I'm being over the top or just careful like anyone would be.
My children are aged 4 and 6
