Just asking out of interest really. My oldest DC is 7. I forever obsess about how old she will be before I'll let her walk to school with her mates or go down the park with them etc. And how old should they be when they get their own mobile phone? I just read a thread where it was obviously common place for an 11 year old to have their own mobile, which got me thinking about it all again. This is in only 4 years for us . . . fills me with dread! I was 8 when I started walking to school with my friends, but that was back in the day and I lived 5 minutes away through the houses - no roads to cross. What's the norm?
