Spurred by the recent NPR piece, Jane the Actuary has some thoughts on free-range parenting.
(Incidentally, the NPR piece has a table of the minimum legal age for kids to stay home alone. I am a little annoyed this morning, because my kids’ former pediatrician either told me or strongly implied that the legal minimum in Minnesota was age 12, and I believed her — but actually there’s no minimum age defined here. The highest age in the table is 14, in Illinois.)
