It’s one of the hardest things giving your child their independence. This year I gave my 11 year old the independence and confidence to scooter back and forward the 20 minutes to get to her school, 3 times a week. I worry about her everyday but this is vital to her well being. It was hard to let go, but she’s more confident than ever. Now she wants that in other aspects of her life and I have to give it to her. I realise she’s growing up and it’s an essential part of her growing experience.

I rode the bus alone to school, from age 5. I learned to be independent. Parentimg today is insane

[FeralFoodieGuy]

Honestly, that first parent is a breath of fresh air!

[krishenderson]

We made sure our son was trained to take care of himself. He was a black belt at mixed martial arts at the age of 10. He trained for 12 years. He got to do more than some of his friends because of this.

I grew up in the 80's, and I remember my mother trying to teach me to be cautious by telling me what happened to Adam Walsh. I think that incident caused a lot of parents to start keeping their kids closer.
Kids do need to be given freedom and responsibility, but I personally think 9 years old is a little young to be roaming New York City streets alone. I kind of have a problem with her, as the parent, expecting strangers to protect her son instead of doing it herself

[katersaph]

Children deserve to know and learn from the best part of their parents, which are being neglected by obsessing over the children, parents need not loose themselves to parenthood and should not because your kids need to know YOU.

At 12, I traveled from the Middle East to Chicago alone, connecting flights. After spending the summer in Chicago, on returning to the Middle East, the flight was canceled and I had to spend a night at a hotel in Jordan, making a connecting flight to my destination in the morning. I firmly believe that you are never alone, the guidance of God is always with you.

My mom always taught me that the most important thing a parent can teach their children is independence. My son could poach an egg better than me, at 8 years old. They all did their own laudry by 7 or 8.

Kids aren't really taught life skills anymore, let alone survival skills.

I was a teenager living in NYC, and the first mom isn't teaching her son anything EVERY nyc child needs to learn.

Whatever style you choose (hands off or helicopter), stick with it cause there's nothing worst than inconsistent parenting. It leads to insecure attachment, needy personality and/or fear of commitment😊

[rcradney]

Mom of two adult men now. Best advice I ever heard from Dr. james Dobson, from the time they’re 3 ish release 5% of your control every year. Start with letting them choose between clothing to wear, which chores they need to do, etc so they start getting confidence, and by the time they’re 18, they are ready for college and you both know they are trustworthy and more confident

[mooncatanimations]

in response to the first lady with the free range thing,

when I was 9, my parents wouldn't even let me past the house where our driveway starts and I was not allowed to go outside if my parents were not home.

[JennyRodedky]

❤I’m so proud of myself as a single mom I used to be I did a very good job raising my only daughter ❤

[AnneLisbeth]

As a Norwegian I find this incredibly strange and even scary. In Norway and I think most of Europe kids are allowed to do these things without any issue. Small kids go to school alone, take the bus alone, go to their friends house to play etc. Poor kids in America 😢

[MeeblesSporella]

Yes, they are capable. Sadly you don't know what other may do to them.

[karenanderson]

At age 5 I was playing out in the neighbourhood unattended, an area of about 2 miles diameter. The general rule was: back before dark. At age 11 I missed the school coach for an outing to London....so I got on a train, then a taxi to the theatre and joined my class. The teacher was impressed, and then no more was said. Granted, this is England not US, and a fair few years ago but I don't believe there is proportionately any more 'bogeymen' than there were then, but there is a lot more media coverage of it. I WAS sexually abused as a child...in situations of friends houses and my mother's workplace. Moral of the story though is that my independent spirit from an early age meant I learned how to get out of trouble quick and how to escape, not freeze because there was no grown-up present.

[misst]

Mum number 2 has far too much time on her hands and she has no boundaries!

[DLM]

I think there is a happy medium. Independence is a good thing.
I used to work in a bank and an almost 18 year old male teen came into the bank with his mother to open an account. She spoke for him the whole time (there was nothing wrong with him). I remember cringing for the both of them and swearing to myself that I will make sure my children are independent and confident (not cocky) people

[rachelxtc]

I think there is a happy medium. You have to give your children some freedom to allow them to learn and grow from their mistakes. If you're constantly hovering, they aren't given the opportunity to screw up, therefor never learning their lesson. However, you can't just throw your 9 year old out the door on his own and tell him to just figure it out. Of course there are horrible people with bad intentions everywhere. At the end, the goal is to raise a smart, self sufficient young adult to is capable of sensing danger and protecting themselves.

[samantagarcia]

this moms need to watch and analyze the Carrie movies haha

[Jasonslittlesister]

Here I am, watching this from Germany. My son was with his friends to our local town, having fun, looking for clothes, eating ice cream and enjoying the untypical hot weather. They go there together by bus or train or subway. He's 13. His hobby is training with the juvenile fire department every Wednesday. He rides the 3 kilometres there with his bike on the city's bike lane, there at 5:30pm and back home again at 7 pm, all on his own since he was 11 years old.

I know that our over all criminal statistics say that living here is much more safe than in the US, but I'm curious why that is a reality. Might it be because we don't have that much guns, guns aren't allowed in public, only the police is allowed to be armed?

When I was a kid I went to the public pool in the next village with my siblings at 15. They were 13 and 9.

I don't say it was always good to be the oldest and have that much responsibility, but we all got out of it okay. We're 41, 39 and 37 now.
Got our own kids.

I was teaching my son how to use public transportation safely before he had to do it alone. I told him of the dangerous places he should stay away from. I told him how to ask people for help and what to look out for. He has a mobile with him al the time if he needs to call 911(112 or 110 here). He wants to be a firefighter, so he knows what's an emergency and to look out for himself and others/ his friends, when to decide to go for help.

The only thing I fear is him having a swimming accident (drowning) at the lake, so we always go there together to look out for one another.

He is allowed to go the supervised public pool by himself with his friends though because there are lifeguards on watch all the time while it's opening hours.

What I fear the most is that someone will attack with a knife, because especially male juveniles tend to have and use those nowadays (since 2015).
I wish the government will install a no knife policy for public streets soon!
Therefore I want to look for a self defense class for him to participate, so that he will know how to protect himself best just in case.
