Autonomy vs. Shame & doubt
My parents let me explore and do my own thing as a child, giving me plenty of room to explore. There was a time when I was about 2 or 3 where I was exploring a family friends farm and ran into a stirrup and cut open the side of my face (still have the scar to prove it). This was probably the most traumatic thing that had happened to me so far in my little life, and afterwards I did not want to go off on my own, but my parents had taught me how to be aware of my surroundings and what areas were safe and which ones were not. .
