[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 8. She does aftercare with includes outdoor play time. During nice weather, we might stop at a playground on the way home. At my house (apartment, busy corner, park across the street) I go with her to the park and she plays on the structures, shoots baskets, rides her scooter, splash pad in the summer, sledding in the winter). Definitely by 5th grade I would be okay with her going to play with a friend and no grownup (I can see the whole park from my window and can yell to her). At her other house on a quieter block she can ride bikes with nearby friends or play in yards without an adult. In the winter we will do a trampoline park, indoor pool, or roller rink on the weekend.

She does one sport per season (basketball, soccer, swim) which are usually one practice and one game per week.

I think city living is fun for kids, but choose your location carefully so that you have easy access to a park/rec center/pool or some other place that you can easily get to where they can play.[/quote]
