[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer before middle I started letting DD go alone (well, with friends). I would have allowed her to go a little younger (probably age 10) but there is a street she has to cross. [b]It’s very low traffic and there is a stop sign but still.[/b] [/quote] This sounds like the ideal thing to help your kid learn independence. Did you expect a country road with no stop signs?! Goodness we coddle our children.[/quote] I see your point. Two things: first, I just didn’t really feel like going and making sure she was doing it right. She only asked once so it wasn’t like it was a big priority. I just went with her. Second, notice that when she was 12 I did let her. [/quote] And I realize now that I would have let her even earlier but it was quarantine time so nobody was going anywhere. [/quote]
