Hello friend @marxrab, I also grew up in a small town and I think that this way of raising children is very healthy, and to express more freely our personality, why?
Because the upbringing of children in the city prevents them from coming into contact with the environment more frequently, with animals that are not normally seen in the city, in addition to the foods they consume go through processes that do not occur in the villages , my parents We still have an area of ​​land where we visit sometimes and I see that my daughter does not stop running, laughing, jumping, playing, screaming, etc. I observe that my daughter is electrified with all her cousins ​​and friends of the place and that make happy.
There are also dangers but somewhat different, as you mention in this article, as evil people, but on a lower scale, but much lower, however, as parents we do not stop worrying and being attentive at all times, I believe that God is In Us, therefore, the father's love is different from all the feelings that exist.
