Stranger Danger, eh? I hope your kids will find a better life for theirs. https://youtu.be/oHlpmxLTxpw https://youtu.be/oHlpmxLTxpw

I wouldn't trust a 3 year old to not jump off a wall, stick their head down a drain, eat some random berries, etc.

  Sounds like the stuff I was doing in recess in kindergarten honestly. The kids will be alright. You can't watch them for every waking second as it is.

    You don't have teachers or any other caregiver at kingergarten? You just leave the kids alone for a few hours? I'm impressed you remember what you were doing at 3 to be honest.

      The teachers can't watch everything at once at the playground. We were doing things like climbing on top of the slides and jumping off. Sure you'd get scolded, if you were caught that is, but with 200 kids running around a huge space it's not so easy to make sure they aren't all horsing around. Not to mention stuff outside of school. Parties where the adults are chitcatting and talking amongst eachother gives opportunities for the kids to be tearing around the neighborhood or playing in the woods.

    Wait a second, I said 3 year old. Kindergarteners are about twice that age. We're talking about different maturity levels entirely.

What a snide comment. You know nothing about the GP’s neighborhood or living situation. Dismiss it as “stranger danger” if you wish, but what if their concerns about the safety of unsupervised children is rooted in some genuine concern? Again, they just said cars weren’t the main reason. Doesn’t that imply something else?

No, I know stranger danger is mostly BS. The world is much safer now than it was when I was a kid. But a 3 year old does lots of fairly dumb things. E.g. swallow a single lithium battery and you can die.
