I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.

It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.

I was very protected growing up. My dad was very strict with me. I was the oldest of four kids, and there are three girls. So I kind of paved the way of what it was like to raise a teenage daughter.

It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger.

I learned that I had been brought up as a protected, blindfolded daughter.

I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.

I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.

I worry that my daughters are too taken care of.

I worry about children not having a sense of any direct connection to the past.

I think I was a bit frightened of having to be a grownup and tried to put that off for as long as I could.
