Kid Play
Would you let your kid(s) play outside alone?
I moved into a new neighborhood and alot of people seem to let their Kids Play outside alone. My daughter is four and I dont let her play outside alone. My only question is am I being overprotective or are the other parents just lazy?
Some of the other kids are old enough to be out unsupervised and some are not. We live in the city (high traffic). I guess my problem is the other kids are old enough, she is to young to play with them even supervised. I just dont know how to tell her and them without being mean.
No. Its not safe to let your kids be outside without a parent in this day and age. Too many things can happen and too many kids don’t know about stranger danger.

Kids Play at Directbuy…directbuy Offers “play” Areas for Parents and Children
The six DirectBuy franchises serving the greater Washington DC/Baltimore area—DirectBuy of Columbia, DirectBuy of Metro Washington NW (Gaithersburg), DirectBuy of Baltimore North (Hunt Valley), and DirectBuy of Southern Maryland (Lanham), Maryland; DirectBuy of Chantilly and DirectBuy of Woodbridge, Virginia—have developed a “Kids Zone” area in their respective clubs so parents can focus on the task at hand and kids can enjoy the DirectBuy experience, too.
Though not a supervised area, the Kids Zone features a number of things to keep school-age children occupied and entertained: books, puzzles and games. The Kids Zone also includes a flat screen television so children of members can watch movies or play video games.
“Let’s face it, most kids would rather go to the dentist than watch their parents shop for their next home improvement project. By the same token, it’s difficult for members with children to get the most out of the experience and do the research they need to do if they’re concerned about the kids getting fidgety. The Kids Zone gives children of DirectBuy members a place to play games, watch TV or even make new friends with other members’ kids while the grown-ups have their ‘fun’,” said Lee Brown, owner of DirectBuy of Chantilly.
Creating fun things to do for children is nothing new for DirectBuy. DirectBuy franchises across North America regularly donate equipment to youth organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs and children’s hospitals.
“Because we are entrenched in the local community, we have an even greater incentive to make this a one-of-a-kind, unique shopping experience because many of the members are our friends, neighbors, even relatives,” said Brown. “The Kids Zone and donations to youth groups are just an extension of that philosophy.”
Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. With six convenient locations in the Greater DC/Baltimore area, DirectBuy offers consumers an exclusive, comfortable environment, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
