Free-range parenting

Free-range parenting trusts children with graduated independence—walking alone, playing unsupervised, making real mistakes—on the belief that competence and judgment grow through experience, not protection. It's a counterweight to constant oversight, though it requires you to tolerate the anxiety of letting go before your instincts say it's safe.
