[quote=Anonymous]Heck yes!! Kudos for him for wanting to do it. Kids need exercise, fresh air, some independence. We ALL did it all the time when we were kids but for some reason we thing coddling them until they leave for college is "good" parenting. I have a 13yr old and since she was 10yrs old she has had free range of our neighborhood and crosses a very busy 4 lane road to get to another neighborhood/pool. Compared to many of her coddled friends she just seems to have more common sense and street smarts. That said, can't he ride his bike to save time?[/quote]
