ASK DR LOUISE

AM I BEING OVERPROTECTIVE?

Q I work for a branch of the South African Police Service that specialises in cybercrime and paedophiles who try to lure young children on the internet to meet them in person.

I have two kids aged eight and 12 years old whom I adore, but the problem is that according to my wife I have become overprotective of them.
