[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad the OP is so secretive about her home country - I really think it could be cultural on her part.[b] In many countries parents don't really consider much emotional well-being of their children - as long as they are OK physically, the rest they will "get over it". They don't dwell on all the "touchy-feely" stuff. Yes, physically, your kid will most likely be ok flying unaccompanied on any of the major international carriers you mentioned, but emotionally? Will he be scared, terrified, confused, upset at some point during those 16 hours? Most likely yes. But for parents from many cultures that is not very important.[/b]

But for majority of American parents it is of paramount importance - that is why you got the responses you got. If you to post the exact same question on the forum for parents from your home country, I suspect, you will get very different responses.  [/quote]

OP here: This is partly true.  And not being secretive at all, I just didn't want the conversation to shift from focusing on what I was specifically asking about. [/quote]
