Thanks for the reminders- free ranging is the best childhood freedom when it is emotionally safe, but there is physical and mental challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-9518563051114751462013-04-30T23:51:25.571+08:002013-04-30T23:51:25.571+08:00It was, Barbara.
