[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a trick question. By the time they're old enough to go alone, they're too old to be trick or treating still. [/quote] That's sad. I remember when my daughter was 4, long before I started reading about Free Range Kids, etc. I took her trick or treating around our upscale apartment complex in Arlington, and we met a group of kids from a much more working-class complex half a mile away. They were mostly around 10-12 but had a couple younger kids with them. My daughter decided to tag along with them and I followed at a distance as they crossed several streets on the way back home, stopping every once in a while to eat candy. I remember being amazed at how much more mature and aware of their surroundings they were than the kids their age I saw in my own neighborhood, still holding their parents' hand. We also got much better candy in their neighborhood than ours. My daughter is 10 this year and I plan on staying home and giving out candy.[/quote]
