[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am genuinely curious where people who say that they were crossing streets and leaving the boundaries of their block alone at age 6 grew up. I grew up in a more suburban part of Brooklyn, and this definitely didn't happen. DH grew up in suburban Chicago, and he says kids didn't do that at 6 in his neighborhood either. [/quote] I agree. I'm 42 and I played outside at 6 but couldn't go further than half a block away. I don't remember kindergarteners walking to school alone either, maybe with an older sibling but not completely unaccompanied. Some of these stories sound a lot like our grandparents stories of walking 10 miles to school, all uphill [/quote]
