[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]absolutely not. Note the arlington county supervision guidelines which include 'yard' as unsupervised. http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/HumanService...cesServicesFamilyHowyoung.aspx [/quote] I don't think I'd consider the yard as "unsupervised" if the parent is checking out the window every few minutes. [/quote] Those guidelines say that you shouldn't let a seven year old be in a yard by themselves. A 2 year old seems young, but waiting until 8 seems extreme on the other end [/quote] That's nuts! :roll: I think it depends on the yard and 99% of parents are responsible enough to judge their children, the yard, the fence etc and make their own judgment calls. We let our dc play alone in the yard around 4 but also trust the 7 yr old with the toddler for a few minutes at a time (running in the house for something etc).[/quote]
