I try to give my kids space when we go to parks - try not to hover around, try not to panic every time they leave my sight, but man was it different for me growing up - zero adult supervision. I’d run anywhere and everywhere, bike across the city some 10 miles through heavy traffic, play outside all day long from sunrise to sunset literally and get into all sorts of shenanigans and came out fine. In some ways this type of childhood lives on in Japan but it feels different. Kids are more structured these days, less trial and error.
