Exactly my case: I walked to and from school every day, and kept playing on street and backyards' bushes every afternoon. My kid I drive to and from school, he never went to the street unattended, he is 10.
- TremendousJudge 9y agoa kid can't really walk to school if it's 5 miles away because it's a suburb
- larkost 9y agoIn the U.S. there are an increasing number of places where the schools insist on parents being present for both drop-off and pickup, sometimes to the point that they will call Child Protective Services (government agency) to report Child Endangerment if the kid arrives alone. We are looking at places for our older child right now, and one of the schools we are looking at has an official document that the parents must present in order to pickup your child. Otherwise they will not release the child.
- noobhacker 9y agoIt's very interesting that you are aware of the difference yourself. Is there a reason why you can't let your kid be like you? Is it spousal disagreement, living circumstance, or a change in your own attitude?
- epx 9y agoAll of them :) The attitude just changed. And no, I don't live in suburbs, the distance home-school is the same.
