Can anyone help me with what’s age appropriate?

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

I have a seven year old DS and I’m really struggling with what independence I should be giving him at this age. He seems so grown up at times but at the same time still very young
I feel like I may be babying him a little and as he’s about to go into juniors I’d appreciate some guidance.
He has no technology in his room and I’m aware that he’s unusual among his friends for this. He is able to use, with supervision, family iPad, tv, PlayStation etc. He can use his wii unsupervised but it’s in the living room so we’re still around.
He doesn’t ‘play out’, largely as we don’t really know the neighbors it we’re hoping to move next year so that could change.
Toilets? Still comes into the ladies with me unless somewhere like a costa where the toilet is one room so he can go in alone with me outside.
Coming downstairs on his own in a morning. He gets up really early and I always get up with him but again, he has friends and cousins who get up alone.
Teeth - once a day we brush then the other time he does.
God I feel like I’m talking about a toddler I honestly have no idea where to let go!

smartplay when I’m talking about peer pressure I don’t mean specifically about tv in the bedroom just tech generally. I’m not sure why you seem so keen on disagreeing with every point I make about peer pressure. Im glad you don’t see that, it’s great that your kids don’t experience it but it doesn’t mean no children do.
Reading this I’m feeling I could let go a little bit with the playing out. I’m still not sure about him getting up in a morning, if he had siblings I might feel different but I do struggle to feel ok with him sitting on his own watching tv. We’ve had a bit of success saying if he wakes before 6.30 then he reads or plays Lego in his room so maybe stick to that for now.

saveallyourkisses that’s useful thank you. DS is sensible and definitely sticks to the rules so if I told him not to leave the cup de sac I’m sure he wouldn’t. I also try to strike the balance with tv and other activities and generally I think we’ve got it about right although who knows?

"I’m not sure why you seem so keen on disagreeing with every point I make about peer pressure."

I simply don't agree with you, why is this such an issue for you?

My experience told me that in most cases peer pressure about things like this (technology, brands etc.) at a young age (pre teenage years) is more in the head of the parents, rather an actual thing.

DS2 is also going into juniors and has an older brother who i think he's learned a lot from.

Can get up himself, go downstairs, make himself cereal and drink, pop tv on or watch something on iPad.
No tech in either kids room, he has an iPad he plays kids games on, minecraft and can watch kids YouTube, cbbc etc with me checking from time to time.
Not allowed to play out unsupervised - we live on quite busy road, no park nearby either.
Gets self dressed, teeth brushed and has shower. Needs help to rinse shampoo out! He's colour blind so sometimes his choice of clothing is a bit
Can make himself drinks and snacks if needed- cheese and crackers, hummus and wraps etc.
Likes doing little jobs- Feeds the cat, keeps his room relatively tidy, sets/ clears the table, asks and pays for stuff in cafe etc.
Comes into ladies toilet with me.
