[quote=Anonymous]I am an older parent with an 8 year old. He has a Gizmo watch and we let him bike around the neighborhood and go to friends' houses or to his school's playground/field by himself. We live in the middle of the city and it is totally fine. We have a WhatsApp group with about 20 families that have 3rd grade boys so we know generally where the kids are congregating. My son calls to ask if he can move from one spot to another, like from the playground to one of his friend's houses. Never done a dropoff play date? It is kid dependent but why wouldn't you just give yourself a couple of hours of downtime? There are times I stay for playdates but mostly because the other mom is a friend and we are having a soda or coffee and catching up.[/quote]
