Not sure of the phrasing 'free range' makes me think of the chickens in my backyard (brutal beasts, chickens) the concept however I'm interested in. How much free on the range a kid should have is tricky though. Too much and you might find yourself on the border of neglect. Having said that the idea that children can't be children bothers me. Fostering independence is important in a child. I hope my little boy rides his bike to school one day, I'll just make him wear a helmet.
