Is My Worry Too Much? Navigating My Son’s First Color Run

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a question that’s tugging at my heart: Am I being too protective by not letting my 5-year-old join the local color run? The idea of him running through clouds of colored powder, surrounded by excited kids, sounds joyful—but I can’t help but worry about his sensitive skin and whether he’ll feel overwhelmed in such a big crowd. As a parent, I want him to experience fun and freedom, but I also want to keep him safe. Has anyone else struggled with this kind of decision? How do you find the balance between letting go and holding on? I’d love to hear your thoughts or similar experiences in the comments below! #ParentingJourney #ProtectiveParent #LettingGo #Parenting
