[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 286732, member: 1436"] Luckily, I grew up in a small town where we were allowed to be kids. We played from sunup to sundown coming home when my grandmother stepped out the backdoor to whistle that a meal was ready. We rode our bikes a mile down the "highway" to the pool. Later, we ran through the teen years with summer at Ocean Lakes in Myrtle Beach, SC, swimming in the ocean, riding bikes and driving golf carts. We drove at 15. And my kids have had the same experience. Bad things happen all the time. When difficult child was 10 a young friend of his died in a canal where the boys went fishing all the time. Did I stop difficult child from going to the canal? No. He knew the dangers. They ran through the woods and built forts. They broke bones and got hurt. But, the had a childhood. I pray my grandchildren have the same experience. [/QUOTE]
