[quote=Anonymous]I think people worry too much about getting this just right. Some of this stuff can be introduced later, and it’s fine. My oldest didn’t ever walk to the corner store unattended or wander around the neighborhood alone in elementary school. By early teens, he was taking the metro alone, going on 15 mile bike rides alone, etc. He’s confident and independent even though I didn’t push him at age 7. My kids have always had the freedom to do things like climb trees, run around in the woods, play in the yard alone from a young age, etc. They know how to cook and do laundry. But they didn’t stay home alone until middle school. Neither one is anxious so far. [/quote]
