We live at the end of a cul de sac and the children on our street tend to play around the corner. I go and hover with a cup of tea. DS is nearly 5. Some of the other kids play out without hovering parents but they can probably see/hear from their house. I just think it is too young, he could be off up the road, following the bigger boys without me knowing but I think I probably played out at that age. What is the general consensus?
