At what age can you let your children play outside on their own?
With lighter evenings, more youngsters will be wanting to go outdoors and some may ask to play out independently. But when's the right time to allow them to do that?
Some parents say they were happy to let their kids out on their own from the age of six or seven, though this was in a safe environment, such as cul-de-sacs where they could be watched. Others have waited till their children were a bit older.
