[quote=Anonymous]Meh. People act like if your 7 yo doesn’t walk up the store alone, your 15 yo will be helpless. Not true. My kids are 12 & 16, and they know how to cook, clean, do laundry, basic sewing, gardening, things around the house, etc. But we didn’t let them walk places alone until middle school, age 11-12. I’m not worried about kidnapping, but them getting hit by a car (esp the younger, who is very easily distracted). By high school, my oldest was walking all over with friends, taking the metro alone, going on 15+ mile bike rides alone, etc. [/quote]
