Well, maybe it's because I'm not a city kid... but I just don't think that's a good idea at nine! Maybe twelve or so... but not nine.
We used to go play outside all the time, and it drives me crazy that my younger cousins are more into video games than outside games. I'm all for sending kids outside... but I'd also be supervising them until they got a little older.
