One thing I have noticed is that as a parent if you are toying with the idea of allowing your kid more freedom (biking to school or beyond the neighborhood, etc.), you are sanctioned by other parents and identified as clueless about the "real risks" and/or careless (a bad parent). So the larger discourse has a disciplinary effectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819711698688655785.post-41206926998083440602009-09-20T21:33:02.697-07:002009-09-20T21:33:02.697-07:00I've enjoyed reading your blog!!

Contrast this with a piece on NPR the other day about a mom in New York City moving up out of poverty who is called by her mid-adolescent children who are free roaming around midtown. Kids in big cities (not that Berkeley isn't) are much more used to using public transit and maneuvering in the much larger urban neighborhood. Here in Davis, our kids are used to being shuttled everywhere and although they free-range in our small exclusive university town, they (and their parents) do not feel comfortable with them venturing too far from home. As a boy in the 50's, I roamed all over and there seemed to be little care on the part of me and my buddies, or with my parents. <br /><br />RC in Davis, CARobert Canninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044744488096090793noreply@blogger.com
