[quote=Anonymous]This is culturally relative. In Japan toddlers are running errands on their own. In Scandinavia babies are left to nap in unattended strollers. In my opinion, a responsible 7 year old is certainly old enough to sit in an enclosed space while their parent is nearby, but since it's a misdemeanor in Maryland I wouldn't do it if you are in that state. Kids need to be given more and more latitude and responsibility. There's a reason teenagers are afraid to get their licenses and adults are living with their parents . . . we are over-protecting our kids.[/quote]
