[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31828764 This is why I am hesitant to free range parent.[/quote] This is exactly WHY I think there should be free-range parenting. The older siblings had enough street smarts and common sense to thwart the attempt. There are teenagers in this area that are nervous about being alone. Nervous about crossing a street, biking into another town, and have zero critical thinking and navigating skills. [/quote] They had a babysitter who LEFT THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!! Plus, there is a lot of middle ground between so-called free-range parenting and being a totally incompetent kid!!!!![/quote] In this area there is not. Very coddled kids with parents that do everything for them. Kids are never left alone, never play outside unless a parent is watching, never shown how to do things - just do it for them. [/quote]
