[quote=Anonymous]Exact same scenario here except we're on two cul-de-sacs and my son is the only 5YO out of four in the neighborhood who is allowed to "roam". I've had conversations with the other parents - one set don't trust their son to not run off, the other parents have to go out with the kids because the kids won't voluntarily go outside on their own (they'd rather be inside) and say we're lucky my kid is outside so much. If a kid comes over to our cul-de-sac I sometimes offer the other parent that I'll sit out and supervise and sometimes they take me up on it, other times they don't. We don't really have kids playing in backyards (too wooded), they're mostly playing in driveways and streets/cul-de-sacs riding bikes, playing stomp-rockets, sidewalk chalk, or playing up at the soccer field very close to our house.

As soon as kids start going back into houses (versus only playing outside), then we'll be a little more strict about where he's going because he'll be harder to find. [/quote]
