What is a good age to let a Kid Play outside?
In this day and age the world is a scary place. What is a good age for a kid to play in the front yard by himself??
It depends on other things, not just age. The neighborhood, how close the house is to a busy road, fenced or not, maturity level of the child.

Where to Begin Playing Kids Games Online
Kids’ online games are wonderful entertainment for children and their parents. However the parent who is an excellent online gamer may need a few suggestions on how to start playing on the computer with their child. There is a world of choices in online games for kids.
One great way to begin is to view your child’s television programs with them and look at the toys or foods that are marketed to kids. Then go to the web and look up the sites that represent those programs and products. Often they will have kid-friendly games. These kinds of websites can be trusted by parents. The companies have a family-friendly offline presence, and their websites typically have no outside advertising links to divert a child into the vast World Wide Web.
Some categories of games for kids that a parent may want to explore are educational games or learning games, including math games, reading games and typing games. I suggest that you do not disparage the kids games intended just for fun. Puzzle games and mazes can be great exercise for the brain. Also very simple but fun games that may seem to the parent to be a great challenge for the child may help a child to learn mouse control and keyboard skills.
There is no need for the parent to call a child over to the computer to play. The parent can begin to play a kids’ online game and in no time the sound effects or music will draw a child closer. They will then become quickly ensconced in their parent’s lap. Let the child begin to participate by answering questions about what is appearing on the screen and choosing the next move in the game. A child’s first instincts will be to touch and point at the screen. Eventually, encourage direct participation by letting the child operate an easy aspect of the game, such as pressing the spacebar. Ideally, the first games for young children should have very few keyboard options and a slow pace of play.
Usually the music, sound effects and colorful images of the game will be encouraging enough to motivate a child to continue to learn to play. At first a child needs a parent right at their side to play, but soon they will be taking over more of the controls themselves and even learning how to start a new game over by themselves.
