[quote=Anonymous]"Personally, I think we have to allow our children experiences like this to gain confidence and independence as they get older. I think the key, in a case like this, is to remain aware. You need to know exactly where you sent your daughter, let her know exactly where you will be, tell her you will come looking for her in 2/3/4/5 minutes if she's not back with the item she went to get. I do this with my 8 year old son too. I send him to grab a tomato in the produce section while I'm perusing the meats. There is risk involved but, like a lot of parenting situations, a little risk is required so the children grow. YMMV." Same here - I let me 5.5 y.o. run and get things. But we've talked about stranger danger/safety issues, and I'll probably show this video to further the discussion.[/quote]
