I think eight is a sensible age to start allowing your kids to play outside by themselves. 5 is definitely to young, but 12 is too old so somewhere in between

I don’t know, I think the earlier a kid can become independent safely, the better

KIDS NEED FREEDOME

Cool

first to leave comment!!!!!

It's also a more dangerous now so at least 10

Yay first to comment 😀

Anything below age 11 is not that suitable as you could get kidnapped on sketchy streets or you could get lost. It is best to play on your own at the age of 11 when you start secondary school as you’ll be walking to school on your own anyway so it doesn’t matter too much.

It depends where you are

It depends how confident you are!

but i am saying from age 11

I believe from age 8 as children become more careful and can hand;e themselves

First to comment.
They should be allowed at whatever able there parents say, they are your best guide.

I live in a quiet neighborhood with only a few roads, so I would say that if they stay relatively close to home it should be from age six.

But it depends where you live.

I feel like 10 is the right age cus our parents were able to at 10.

i would say roughly 9 years but it depends how safe minded the child is and where you live. if u live in a v busy part of a big city probably a bit older than 9 and if u lives in a quite village a bit younger than 9 and anywhere else somewhere in the middle

We need some restrictions but not as many. I think it would be crazy to go out on your own when you are a baby. Sometimes it will vary by how responsible the person is.

Most of you say 10 so far but I say 9 as we need to learn how to be responsible like our parents.

I think that 10 is a suitable age - maybe 11 at a push - because 9 I believe is too young and they don't always cross roads safely. Although, some people will just permanently stare at their phone while crossing the roads.

I think ten, because I hope by then you have enough wits!

I think ten, I hope you have enough wits by then!

It depends how far away the place one would play at is from the adult's supervision.

If garden or neighbour 5 but like a mile away 11

I think that really it depends on how responsible the child is and how much the parent wants there child to explore. But I think the most reasonable age is 8 because 5 is too young and 12 is too old.

as long as your child knows its way around, and is playing in a good area, anything from the age of 8 up is good

i think 11 or 10 is a good age to begin leaving on your own as you are young enough to have fun and old enough to be responsible as you do it

FREEDOM

i said 10 because some of my friends come to the park with me after school on Friday and they r ten

I think that kids should have to understand the safety first before they are unsupervised so I think it should be 10.

I'm 9 And can walk around much of my neighborhood alone.

I think it matters about how responsible the child is

I think that it is sensible to allow kids to play outside IF they are sensible.

From Year 6 [11 years old] as they will soon be moving too secondary school and they will have to be much more independant. Playing alone with their friends unsupervised helps them to become more independant.

I think 10 is a suitable age too play alone outside because I am aloud to walk to school in year five.

I think children should be encouraged to play outdoors from a young age. But you should also put into consideration the safety of the children so adults should let the different children out at diffirent ages depending on their personality!

7 because I like the number and it seems kinda in-between

not appearing-

It depend where and when. Crossing roads at night is not safe for any kids but going to a park down the street is fine from age 8+.

I would say 10 but it really depends weather the child is sensible or insensible

9 or 10 is fine, as long as they have a way to contact their parent or carer

Parents should be responsible for their children

I was allowed if I was in my area when I was 7

i think all kids should play outside but if they get hurt or stuck it would be easier if they were more independent.

10 should do it

Kids shouldn't play outdoors unsupervised what if they get kidnapped ?

I think 10 because when you are 10 you are more responsible and are less likely to hurt themselves
