[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the suburbs and allowed this at 6.[/quote] Yes in the suburbs you can do this earlier and kids can run around the neighborhood more freely. The flip side is that you wind up driving them around to everything until they can drive themselves (and then have to worry about a teen driver) whereas in the city it takes longer to let them be independent, but then they can be very independent in terms of getting around town, to activities, etc., because they can take public transport most places.[/quote] My experience in DC is that public transport doesn't reach far, and it doesn't circulate all that often. [/quote] Where do you live? Plenty of transit options in most parts of the city, especially once they learn how to take the bus![/quote]
