[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Fairfax County in the 70's. Super safe, super suburban. I was the only kid I knew who was allowed to walk anywhere that wasn't in our neighborhood. All the other parents were not on board with that. I had no friends who were left outside to play and supervise younger siblings either. In fact, I can recall the opposite. Moms telling younger siblings to stay with them instead of going off with a pack of older kids. So I don't think today's parents are helicoptering anymore so than they were 30 years ago. I think parents then and now are being realistic and looking at their kids and realizing that they are kids and their reactions to situations are going to be at the kid level. [/quote]
