[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing there's no fans of the free range kids movement here. :D[/quote]

I wonder if that's true; I'd love to hear OP's (and others') thoughts on the matter. I like the idea of free range kids in part because I think it keeps kids kids for as long as possible, instead of doing what adults impose on them.[/quote]

I'm not OP but I think it's a totally different subject.  That is really just a question of how comfortable you are letting your kids do things independently out in the world.  It doesn't make you a good parent or a bad parent to let your kids have some freedom when you feel comfortable doing so.  It doesn't speak to the question of how much attention and what kind of attention you are paying your children when you are with them.  It doesn't answer the question of whether or not parents have appropriate boundaries with their kids or whether they make them act as parents to younger siblings or give them too much responsibility for adult tasks.  I don't have a specific answer.  I let my kids do some things on their own and not others.[/quote]
