Without a bit of freedom kids become techno couch potatoes that is bad for them. Ok we need to be sure they are safe, but we cant stiffle them either. Its a catch 22 that is hard to negotiate and handle yet we have to. Over the years the roaming of kids has reduced in radius and may never get back up more like they will be out while a chaparone is on hand. Yet does that mean that when they get older and can roam further that they over do it as we have with the present wave of teens? Personally I think that if we hold them back then when they get the chance they will try and make up for what they believe was missed chances of freedom when younger.
