Examples: What food to eat. Clothing to wear. Places you are allowed to go. What time you have to return home. Bed times. Having a non toxic school envionment or invervening in cases of child abuse is not typically under the unbrella of “nanny state”. Otherwise you’d be saying that any country that protects against child abuse to be a “nanny state”.
