my oldest walked to a neighbors house . it was his first time doing it alone . kids grow up so quickly ! did you feel nervous about it ? i did , but i also knew he was ready . plus , he did n't have to cross any streets . i bet he felt very proud ! sounds like you are a great parent . a good combination of trust and reassurance .
The child's demonstrated readiness and the safe environment without crossing streets allowed the parent to feel trusting.
