I am female but when I was a child I played in the street, rode my pony unsupervised, by myself and did frankly, what would be considered to be very hazardous things. It just hinders development when we don’t allow children to make their own choices on so many levels.

Giving them that space to figure things out themselves has, I believe, supported their positive development.
