I no...I don't think you're over-reacting. <br /><br />I notice parents in my neighborhood here in the US let their elementary kids walk a mile home by themselves. Or maybe a small group of 2-3 kids. Some parents will go and take a group of friends home. While I generally trust the people who live in this neighborhood, you can't be too careful because we have no control over who drives into the neighborhood. So, honestly, I'm uneasy for the groups of 2 -3 kids who walk home each day. Thankfully, nothing has happened. But I'm more cautious like you!

And if they were my kids they'd be in big trouble for getting in the car with a stranger.

I won't even ride in a car with someone I don't know, I definitely wouldn't allow my child to do so!Memories for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677127617656258362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744251150403713710.post-13851197053511710722013-08-27T10:49:35.097+02:002013-08-27T10:49:35.097+02:00Every country has it's norm, especially based ...Every country has it's norm, especially based on location, but for me, I'll stick to chaperoning. :) DanicaDanica Bridges-Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494981757422848473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744251150403713710.post-67473433794940399552013-08-27T10:21:10.260+02:002013-08-27T10:21:10.260+02:00In Hamburg I used to see young children riding the...In Hamburg I used to see young children riding the bus alone all the time. Like really, really young children and I was horrified. But for some reason they are always ok. Whereas in the US a little boy was snatched the first time he walk three blocks from his kindergarten to home. They found him in a dumpster three days later. I don't know about your kindergarten, but the kindergartens in Germany the teachers know all the parents so they know you are not kidnapping kids. I'm guessing that there are reasons why children seem to be safer here but honestly I don't know why. It just doesn't ever seem to happen. At least I have never heard of it around here.

In the UK, well out of all the parties I have been to... you take your child, you can either stay with them or leave and you go back and pick them up at the end of the party. Unless of course you have a friend going and they suggest taking your child or vice versa. Most of the parties are at soft play centres due to the age but I know things will get a little harder as the kids grow up. I would be like you too though and offer to help!Sim @ Sims Lifehttp://www.simslife.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744251150403713710.post-72740351097860416912013-08-26T20:06:38.530+02:002013-08-26T20:06:38.530+02:00I don't think so.

IF I knew the person having the party AND I was good friends with them AND they would drive my kid, THEN MAYBE I would allow my child to drive with THEM. But letting a stranger take my child in THEIR car? NOPE!! You can never be too cautious! I'm with you!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.com
