My DS has been invited by his best friend's GM to go with her and his friend by bus to a nearby city to visit a very child-friendly attraction. He's 6 and has never been on a day trip like this with someone who's not our family or school.
I know the GM well and she is very nice, although couldn't chase after him if the need arises! (Although he's not really like that with people who are not me) Both me and my DH feel a little nervous about it, but DS is looking forward to it – are we right to be worried or being over-protective?
