[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very much into free-range playing so if my charges are school-age I let them go and I settle onto a bench or under a tree and read. They know they're not allowed to leave the playground and I play "spot the kids" every five minutes or so. Younger charges go on the tot lot where I'm nearby to stop falls or kiss boo-boo's but not hovering.[/quote]

And when you are at the house is it the same free range mentality? You kids go play quietly together, don't leave the house, I'm going to be here reading if you need anything.[/quote]

Nope! When we're at the house we're doing Crafts, singing, practicing their instrument of choice (we all play something), building forts, playing hide & seek, etc. But if we're at the park (which always has kids their age there) then there's no reason for me to be with them.  They're old enough to socialize with kids on the playground without their nanny hovering over them. My MB & DB know how I handle park time vs home time and support it :-)[/quote]
