Would you let your 9 year old boy child to walk from/to school on there own if it’s literally 10 min walk, with three lights crossing, two back roads without lights and he is super confident to do so ? Thanks

He is very sensible and it’s very small town where everyone knows each other if that helps , he got told about stranger danger etc. He go to shop on his own which is literally 5 min away and loves it !
Nope. My daughter is 8 and I’ll continue to take her and collect her. Not worth the risk imo. They could get kidnapped, bullied by older gangs etc and even if they’re sensible, drivers aren’t always sensible. Not a risk I’d take. Much prefer to know they’re safe. But each to their own.
Maybe stagger it a bit, meet him half way home for a couple of weeks or meet him at the school then let him set off, let him get some distance ahead of you and then start walking yourself, that way you can see him and how he copes with walking home on his own and he feels like he’s getting a little independence and trust and you get some peace of mind x
No not a 9 year old, my oldest is 8 and she won’t be walking alone until high school and even then it won’t be the entire journey because she’ll be walking with me while I drop her sisters off and then carrying on up the road
Depends on how mature he is no one will know ur son better than you and if he maybe has a mobile he could phone u and u could phone him my friend lets her little boy walk home himself.. they all need to have that trust eventually just when u as a parent feel ur child is ready.. x
Nope. I only let my daughter when she was 10 an it literally was 2 minutes down the road. An she only had a few months of her last year left
my sons 8 and been nagging for ages n I been saying 9 since he was 5 lol my daughter starts nursery at his school before hes 9 so no getting away from me lol
I’m about 2 mins away from school one Road that’s not even busy to cross and I won’t let my 9 year old daughter to go school alone either
No. I wouldn’t let my 9 year old walk on his own and his school is at the end of our street less than a minute away
No, my sons 9 and wants to walk himself and some other kids his age do. Not for me I’ll continue to walk with him x
If you think he is ready then its fine, my boy isnt quite ready, (his choice) but alot of his friends walk home alone
No offence but No it’s not about how safe the road is to many sick fuckers out perverts kidnappers
Yes I do my sons 10 and gets the bus to school ,nothing like a wee bit of independence for them
Definitely not, if was walking with a group maybe but not on his own
Ive got a 9yr old girl and i wouldnt.. i know ppl say its diff for boys but nope still wouldnt x
Depends how grown up/ sensible the boy is xx
It depends on your area and your child.
Think it depends on the maturity and area u live in x
Yes if he want too and ur happy with him doing it and has a phone that u can contact him on …id just tell school he will be walking to and from school by himself x
Not on his own no. He if knows stranger danger and if with 1 + friend who is 100% same as your son then shouldn’t be problem
My son is 10 & in year 6 & l still walk with him & collect him from school.
Not a chance.. A boy near me was 9 he crossed at the lights, it was on red and he was struck by a car 🙁
Think it depends on your area tbh 😊
Not a chance no x
Umm no not on his own x
