[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally let my kids, 4 and 7, play unsupervised. If I hear a commotion, I'll look and if my kids are involved, I'll intervene/make them stop/make them apologize. I also think kids should learn to work out social situations by themselves, and it needs to start some time. Age 5 seems to be a reasonable time to let them loose, proverbially speaking. [/quote] +1. Personally, I think it's good for them to learn that if they act up one possible consequence of this is that an annoyed parent will tell them off or that if they're not playing nicely some other kid might yell at them or not want to play with them. Unless someone is going to get badly hurt, there's nothing wrong with kids simply learning from life itself due to the results of their choices.[/quote]
