Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Unsupervised Kids in the commonhouse

[Kate Nichols (knichols]

It's been interesting to see how many cohousing groups supervise 
their childdren in the common house.  At Bellingham Cohousing our 
younger kids are unsupervised in the common house. I am grateful to 
have my daughter be able to go to the kid's room and play when I'm 
busy. I can look out my kitchen window to check on her. We have a 
teen room that has been unsupervised, but we are having trouble with 
vandalism and will have to rethink our policy. One idea is to turn it 
into a community activity room. It is above the workshop, so we 
probably unwisely gave the teens less supervision than they needed. I 
don't know of any other unsupervised teen space in town.  Kate N.
