[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids can be unsupervised, some can't. Some families feel comfortable at 6/10/8, some at 12. Good gravvvyyy families are different. [/quote] They weren't 20yrs ago. Kids had freedom and independence. Coddling, structuring your kid in long list of activities and doing everything for them to "help" them is year 2000+[/quote] +1 Maybe Y2K freaked everyone out? But really, it is all about the internet now. More screens means more indoors, more screens means more news, social media to scare people into watching MORE screens. Paparazzi, journalists, news anchors, meteorologists - it is their job to get people to watch them. People one upping themselves on Facebook, comparing their kids to others. Texting instead of talking face to face. Too much structure and not enough free time and WAY too much screen time for everyone. [/quote]
