[QUOTE="SRL, post: 37687, member: 701"] difficult child's spreading his wings right now so I know how you feel. We build up--first accompanying them to a friend's, then accompanying them halfway, letting them go alone but call home to let us know he got there, etc. Set down rules like always take the same route to a particular friend's. Review "safe houses" in the neighborhood in case of problems. I'm on the main walking path home from school to our neighborhood and I've had kids stop by for using the bathroom, getting bandaids, and waiting out a thunderstorm. I bought a "kidphone": $20 Tracfone and bought one year of service + 500 minutes during a promotion for $90. It's not to be used by kids for social purposes and has been very handy. [/QUOTE]
