[quote=Anonymous]We also are in Mt P and I allowed my 10 y o child to do as you suggest. There are usually adults there supervising younger kids. I’d not insist my kid stays there though. I’d want them to be able to leave to come home. I also started to let my kid run quick errands to the convenient store, esp. with an older sibling. At 13 my kid now can take the metro on their own to come home after school sports. Of course this all makes me kind of nervous but they have to learn independence. We’ve talked about what to do if someone hassles them and even role played.[/quote]
