AdvertisementLast year, my daughters walked the three blocks from school to swim practice.
At first, people were surprised that I let the girls walk.
She wasn't sure if her two daughters could handle the walk, but soon, they asked to walk with my kids.
I have no idea if that happened because I was the one to break the ice, but it was heartening to see more kids walking independently.
Walking to swim practice gave my kids, and eventually their friends, the unsupervised, independent space to have similar experiences.
