[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 year old/1st grader. Does not walk or go anywhere without an adult except to the house next door. If he is outside, we are there supervising.[/quote] Wow, this is really crazy to me![/quote] It's not crazy. I didn't let my oldest go anywhere at 6 either. She pays no attention to cars, other people walking their dogs, or small steps in the sidewalk. It's no big deal to stand on the front step to watch her walk to a neighbors. My middle has a bit more freedom to go places on her own because she is less likely to wander into the street chasing a butterfly.[/quote] OP here ... Knowing your DC's limits is important. If I had a DC who wandered to chase butterflies, I'd my eye more on that kid too and increase DC's range in smaller increments than another child. Sounds PP's other DC was a bit more focused and could handle a bit more distance. Different limits are necessary for different DC.[/quote]
