[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not massively worried about actual physical safety or you're right they wouldn't be going, but I want them to feel able to proactively manage their comfort and safety, which to me includes having a way of contacting home easily if they're feeling a bit uncomfortable with something. That doesn't seem terribly unreasonable to me, especially as the kids get older and sometimes plans change or situations go unexpected ways. I'd rather they feel confident they have information at their fingertips and an exit strategy if needed. It makes both the kids and us parents feel comfortable giving them a lot more freedom.[/quote] You are really hovering if you want them to be able to contact you--without talking to another adult--if they are "a bit uncomfortable." Learning to manage a bit of discomfort is an important part of growing up.[/quote]
