My son goes outside to play. There are several kids from neighboring condos that congregate on the lawns between the units and do god knows what. My son loves it. We live on a busy street but because the condo complex has a driveway of sorts, as well as a fence, I feel he is fine playing outside unsupervised. Not only does he love hanging out with his friends, but I get much needed time to myself. It's a win-win situation for both of us.
I don't know if I'd give him a bus schedule and some money, but I think there are too many "helicopter parents" and I'm doing my damndest not to be one of them.
