[quote=Anonymous]Neighborhood friends kind of peter off around middle school when kids get really busy. We live in a neighborhood with lots of kids and three out of my four kids didn't really connect with another neighborhood kid, but my daughter's best friend lives across the street. My neighborhood does have a Halloween event, and other social things throughout the year, and that makes it feel nice and "old fashioned." We like that vibe. Maybe that would be a good reason to move? In terms of sheltering your kids, you can still be on top of where they are hanging out and be very selective with sleep overs. You pretty much have until middle school to "set" their moral compass. Most people we've encountered with all our kids were good people who supervised appropriately. You can be wary, but connection is really important for this generation.[/quote]
