Kids are far more capable…

This is a nice sound bite, but is completely lacking a key element. At what age, precisely, is this reasonable? When are they old enough to be safe around traffic, mystery dogs, and foul weather?

I can’t know if I agree or disagree without hearing whether you prescribe this approach for fifteen year olds or five year olds.

TBH? It depends on the kid. This article itself points out not all kids are the same. Sometimes it's best to let a kid try and observe. If they handle it well then look to what a next milestone might look like.
