  I was with you until the “construction site and under the bridge” bit. It definitely takes a bit of imagination, but I’m not sure not wanting your kids to play on a site which requires the use of hard hats classifies as being “anxious”

    Alternative would be garages roofs, which can be more dangerous.

    Like play games (like war or something), roam around, make fires, have “gangs”, play other pretend stuff (basically role playing but without any real rules ) - ask your parents and grandparents what they were up to when they were kids.

        Yes, more a country side thing, you go to a secluded spot and make a fire.

      1. This is a privilege a lot of city kids don’t have
      2. No to fires lmao wtf
      3. They only did that stuff because there was literally nothing else to do. Not because it was more fun.
