[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on your kid. I was raised by a single mom that had to leave for work every day at 4 am. Starting in second grade I used to get up (alarm but my mom would call to make sure I was out of bed), make my own breakfast (cereal/pop tarts) and walk to school on my own (about 1 mile). It’s mind blowing that i did that all. I was very independent and self sufficient at a young age. I worry about coddling my own kid. [/quote] Same! I often wonder if it's the reason I'm overprotective of my own kids.[/quote] No, you are not overprotective and they are still young. There is a difference between a 5th grader staying home an hour and 8-10 hours. That poster was neglected.[/quote]
