[quote=Anonymous]Started letting my DS do this around age 8, but we are in the suburbs. The playground is farther away, and he walked solo to meet friends there. It was maybe 4 blocks, but he knew probably a dozen people who lived along the walk and could he could have knocked on lots of doors if there was an emergency. AND odds were good there would be other moms of kids at his school who had my number, so they could call me too. I got him a walkie/talkie watch type thing soon after we started letting him go. Covid was the impetus for us to take this leap, because he had multiple younger siblings who were still napping at different times and DH trying to work in our tiny house and I just couldn’t always hang out at the park when his friends were going to be there.
