Life at 9. Independence

Description

Becoming an independent adult is the ultimate goal of childhood. But children's horizons are shrinking. Today, children are thought to have less freedom than ever before. In an increasingly fear-driven world, are parents overprotecting children, robbing them of the vital practice they need to become independent later in life? This episode explores how the tricky interplay of parenting and a child's increasing push for independence evolves. So how much independence can nine year-olds really handle? And how do parents balance of safety against freedom and experience?
