[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. Let's assume at some point in a child's life something bad is going to happen when a parent isn't there. Going to happen; no avoiding it. Wouldn't it be nice to know that your child has the capacity and self-assuredness to effectively neutralize the situation or know how to access someone who can? This kind of knowledge and confidence has to be taught and practiced so when the time comes that the child has to act, they are prepared. No amount of "don't talk to strangers and hold mommy's hand while crossing the street" will ever help your child not get victimized or run over by a car. [/quote] No one disagrees that you have to teach them how to exist in the world. The question is at what age can they do that unsupervised. A line has to get drawn somewhere. You think it should be younger than 8. What age? [/quote]
