I remember when I was a kid, probably not much older than my daughter's age, I used to roam and rampage around the neighbourhood by myself and with friends all the time getting into all kinds of misadventures. It's a strange feeling because I do actually want that sense of freedom for my daughter, yet the idea of letting her have those exact same freedoms I had as child is almost unthinkable. It's a strange psychology that creeps in where you just need to know where they are all the time. I wonder if it's related to surveillance technology or just changing social attitudes in certain countries. Anyway, this article was interesting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/09/16/home-range-kids-mobility/
