[quote=Anonymous]6yr old first grader. We live across the street from cul de sac in eyesight and she crosses herself with me watching and goes up and plays with the other kids. I peek here and there. She usually crosses back on her own unless I call her for dinner. She can also go up 5-7 houses in either direction to friends homes, either walk, bike or scooter. I do not watch. I used to until winter break but it was getting ridiculous. She knows how to walk up a sidewalk 100 yards. A lot of the parents were talking about loosening the reigns a bit and letting them go play up in the park on their own this summer which is the next block over and no crossing streets. Fingers crossed some of the moms stick with it. Kids need to learn some street smarts and critical thinking skills like we did as kids. It is healthy. [/quote]
