free range kids (mish mash post)

wow, i found the greatest website, something to think about for sure. i often talk with friends about how we grew up with so much more freedom than kids have today. i also had a patient recently tell me she works at a university and parents are actually registering their "kids" for college and intervening with professors if they feel their "child" has been "mistreated". she said it is epidemic, meddling parents in college!! who knew??? it is embarrassing to think a college student would have a parent involved in their schooling this way, when do you let your kid grow up? college isnt the right time? hmmm....

  2. I love cats, too! And that site you found is really fascinating! It's interesting, because my kids are living a "free range" life while we are here in Japan--it is so nice to be able to (and to feel good about!) letting them run around on their own...

  3. I love cats!! They are so simple. Luckily for us living on base the kids have a pretty free range. I couldn't imagine living out in own and having to really monitor what the kids are doing outside. Yes, I love having a cat!
