Seeing how I was the odd one out in my generation (poor/large family in the neighborhood) comparing myself to peers I don't see the value of my undirected roaming.
For example I remember having a huge leap in physical abilities when I started takng taekwondo classes around that age. After school activities let me thinker with stuff.
Roaming around was just lack of better things to do. Not really seeing what my peers without those near death experiences missed out on.
- ido 4y agoBut taekwondo is once a week. Roaming the forest instead of playing NES is something you did every afternoon. I too have 2 children and struggle a lot with this question, I tend to lean towards more independence and my wife towards more supervision.
