[quote=Anonymous]OP. I get that it sounds pretentious but I feel the same exact way. And anyone who equates extended day with a childhood full of agency, modest risk and spontaneity (plus nature, animals and strong traditions) is misguided. Luckily you just need to find one or two similarly minded parents and you can accomplish a lot. Once I found a neighbor who shared my deep yearning to give this type of life to my children I got a lot closer, even in the city. Just going on a hike with someone who isn’t obsessed with risk-management was a breath of fresh air. Parents who either aren’t hypochondriacs or are determined not to pass it on to their kids. Parents who are happiest when their kids are messiest, digging for worms and playing with sticks. Most of my dearest friends don’t fit this description but a few do, thank goodness![/quote]
