At risk of having folks call me a bad dad, I can relate that we went camping this weekend. Took our 9-year-old and a friend of hers.

Our kid is familiar with the park, and we gave her free rein to wander the park, including going to the playground, walking a trail above the campsites and going down to the lake.

Nary a problem or an incident, and it gave her a great sense of independence to do the kind of things I did at that age all the time.
