I agree and I think that it is only when they are very little and what they are doing could kill them literally.

You can only modify the environment to a certain extent.

Mine was for the same issue. Our daughters running into the street.

I yelled a lot on other serious stuff.

Thankfully they turned out fine and still love me.
