[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are these child professionals responding to a post that is a year and a half old? Encouraging parents to let their kids walk alone? Pedophile much? [/quote]

Huh? We have a serious problem with kids teaching adulthood and having no idea how to adult. We hire “kids” with professional degrees, and they can’t function as real grownups. At the end of the year performance review, one 26 year old man had to excuse himself because he upset with the criticism. He went to the men’s room and called his mom. He stayed on the phone with her for an hour in the middle of the workday. That’s just one example! I love my kids dearly, and their safety and well-being mean everything to me, but my job extends beyond keeping them safe. My job is to teach them to be competent adults and good members of our society then to get out of the way and provide guidance but not interfere with their development. People who won’t let 12 year olds walk down the street alone are interefering with their development. [/quote]
