Health, knowing the time is not the only prerequisite for a child to have the responsibility of being home on time. A child must be mature enough to keep track of time even when they are engrossed in playing.
We can have a different opinions about the age where one can expect their child to come in at a certain time. I don’t expect it as of yet from my kids, nor do I care to enforce such a rule that my kids at the age that they are should come in on there own. As I said, I think eleven years old is the ideal age to teach kids that they must come in at a certain time on there own.
People shouldn’t throw their hands up in the air and say “I can’t”!
I agree. That’s why I opened this thread so that there can be discusions which would bring forth good ideas on the issue of “where we can find the middle way, the balance of not spoiling our kids while not being too restrictive”.
