[quote=Anonymous]I have a 13yo DS and would certainly let him do this. At that age he was biking by himself to the local grocery store and deli and making his own (minor) purchases. But my now 11yo DD -- she would probably get overwhelmed, not that that is a bad thing. This is the sort of controlled freedom that makes kids grow up. Before Christmas we let the two of them wander around Tysons for about two hours with $100 each, to buy Christmas presents (for 5 people). They did great in terms of budgeting and made very responsible, thoughtful gift choices. [/quote]
