Child Independence in The Big City

Manhattan Bully Wars: "Adam had ventured out alone in Manhattan since he was five. He walked a lot. He knew the buses and subways. He had little trouble achieving independence because his parents had full lives of their own.  Their ideas about bringing up children were affirmed by Dr. Benjamin Spock.  Give them independence. Treat them as adults.  No heavy discipline. Adam called his mother and father by their first names, Mildred and Melchezedek. Words like mom and dad were never spoken."
