[quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old daughter's school is 3 blocks from a park and 4 blocks from our house. (We are in DC) The school allows for 4th graders to walk home on their own in 4th grade, so we strapped my ancient apple watch on her and let her go. So far it's been really nice. She loves meeting her friends, we give her a time to come home, and now she is bringing friends over for play dates with a few friends too. We are also having her practice going to the corner store on her own. I feel pretty good about local exploration at this level at this age. [/quote]
