Depends on the enviroment you live in.

No Certain age, whenver Kid is ready to face the world alone.

Like first just walking to the corner shop or something. U know bit by bit - build up confidence.

No set age. All can depends on the child really, how mature they are. Also country where u live plays big part...how safe ur area is. 😊

If possible never 😆 After 21 years ideally, after that then anyway will not like parents company, till they each 30 years.

For young one's, there is proximities of law in different countries / state / county for making sue children are not left alone till a certain. See no debate here, its solely parents call when they have enough confidence on kids, that they won't cause any trouble.

i agree with you but corner of the shop example is so funny 😆 😆 😆 when elders feel that they have done their best in imparting their values system and now its ok for them to let them spend time with their friends, thats the right time. most importantly one has to work on establishing the trust sytem with the kids. it all depends on how they are taught. there is no age limit considering that we are talking about underaged kids.

If boys dont cause some trouble parents would feel a sense of void... i think if boys can cause little trouble but know where to stop and girls know they are not supposed to either cause or get into trouble is when they are ready to go out....😆

👏👏Well said both of you...and agree at bold in Anshu's quote. True also werts, major differnce in Boyz nad Girls. Also in Boyz theres something thats just cheeky/naughty but there's a major difference if they are batameez, rude, stubborn and do not listen. 😳 Well said though and true too😳

😲 and omg anshu, lolss 🤣 haha Never!!! Yeaah and what would you have done if your mum never let you out, lolsss alwayz holding her hand like a mummy's boy....and wishing that you climb buildings like Spiderman i bet...😉

Someday you have to do things without folks and gain confidence....otherwise by the time u are 30, u will always wnat to hold mum's hand..😉

🤣 Lolzzzz, Well usually these young children am talking abt children i dunno very young say 12/13 example, i dunno random young age, and you ask them what you want to become in life and say they say oh a housewife, or i want to marry now, well then these kids are usually he ones who have NO Direction in life. They do not know what the world is life, Oppurtunities out there. Ok i understand not everyone is lucky enough to get these/experience them or think about them...but This is parents fault sometimes, not alwayz as circumstances do affect these people....but Im talking abt wen parents wrap their children in cotton wool, then! Yes every mother has maternal insticts dad- paternal ones, lolsss but not to extent where you dont let your children work things out for themselves, or let them experience things as this is ow maturity develops and the mind. 😊
