Hi there, my youngest dd (nearly 10) is very keen to walk home after school. We live a few roads away and there are really only 2 roads she has to cross. Sometimes she crosses the first with other friend and her parent and there are always a lot of people around. My other dd is nearly 13 and they would normally arrive home at the same time. I get home from work around 11/2 to 2 hours later. I am a single mum so there is only me. I'd like to know anyone's thought on this. She is sensible and would normally help herself to a snack when she gets in and watch a big of telly or do some drawing or homework if she has any. Obviously she has my phone number and can contact me any time. Am I letting her do this too early? She doesn't like going to after school club.
