> younger kids act more mature around older kids, and older kids act more mature around younger kids. We lived in a fantastic little neighborhood, Perry Circle, in Annapolis where this was routinely observed. It very much nailed the first iteration of Alexander's Pattern Language: 10 buildings, 6 apartments in 3 stories, plus attics and below-ground garages, arranged around a central circle. Those parents who stayed home would congregate on the porches and benches and the kids of all ages would play together very constructively. I really miss living there. It's what cul-de-sac neighborhoods could have been. http://goo.gl/e3MNM http://goo.gl/e3MNM
