All good, but don't you also think the kids need some time without their parents and other adults? At least when they get a little bit older..

- shirro 12y agoI do but my kids are all under 7yo and if I want them to get out and experience a range of things it mostly won't happen without my help. They go to playgrounds before and after school every day and play with other kids so it isn't like they don't get time to do their thing. My 4yo loves digging up the yard and build things in it which is great when I have a deadline. They have offcuts of wood and real hammers and nails at pre-school for my 4yo. I really don't think my kids are wrapped in cotton wool. But there are boundaries. It is great for kids to have play areas where they can build stuff but kids also like to play sport, swim, learn music etc. I think sometimes ideas get romanticised and people lose perspective.
