I grew up in a moderate-sized city, then in the country. And the odd thing is, I had more freedom in the city! My mom let us run all over town - be home when the street lights come on. Move to the country, and my Dad doesn't let me out past 6pm... I completely agree with free-range kids :)

I'm a full time nanny now for a 2 and a 3 year old boy in London, and its so, so different. I’m so glad to have been brought up ‘free-range’, and not to have grown up in a city.

I love reading about all the fun stuff you and Ari do. :) Kids definitely need the freedom to figure out what works and what doesn’t for themselves.

I live with my two brothers (11 and 13) and my mom...and whille my mom agrees with free-range children theoretically, she has to have her arm twisted to allow them to say, ride thier bikes to school. This is the same mom that I had..when I was there age I used to walk down the railroad tracks through a forest 3 miles to school (sometimes), and when I was 10 I used to have drag (literally) my 5 year old sister on our walks to school by ourself...now she's gotton so protective and scared. It's bad for the kids. So I try and cancel it out whenever I can. Good on you for allowing your kid the right to fall off the monkey bars every so often: we all did it! yay for freerange children!
