As I watch and react to these types of videos I realize even more how different my childhood was compared to the one my own children experience. Even though we didn't have sidewalks or the ability to travel to school or other activities on our own, I was always somewhere with friends. We would ride our bikes long distances. Explore the wooded areas. Walk by ourselves to the grocery store. All things that most of us, living where I do, would never let their children do today. Add in the fact that you could also get in legal trouble or even have your children taken away from you makes it even worse.

I truly like the independence children have in other countries and wish we had more of that here.

Thanks for watching & have a great day!
