问题    Walking through the woods alone can be a frightening prospect for a kid, but not for 7-year-old Matthew of Portland, Oregon. He doesn’ t have a backyard to【C1】______in, so the woods behind his house serve the same【C2】______. He spends hours out there: swinging on a swing, 【C3】______across the valley to a friend’ s house, and【C4】______garden knives to cut a path. He lays【C5】______sticks to form a bridge across the small stream. And he does all of this alone.
   Matthew’ s mom, Laura Randall, wants her son to gain skills and confidence that only【C6】______with doing things alone. But she didn’ t just【C7】______her 7-year-old outside the door with garden tools one day. They worked up to it gradually with what Randall calls " experiments in independence".
   "Just those moments, increasingly longer moments, where he can choose to be【C8】______his own," Randall explains. Randall knows this isn’ t the【C9】______for today’ s parenting style. Gone are the days【C10】______kids ride their bikes alone until the streetlights come on.
   Randall has met people who think she’ s a【C11】______parent. Once, an off-duty police officer started yelling at her when she left Matthew alone in the car【C12】______a few minutes while she ran into a shop.
   Randall knows that parents in several states have been arrested for【C13】______their kids walk to the park alone, or even【C14】______them to walk to school. And so she was a bit【C15】______about what this man might do.
   Anyway, they talked it out, and the man walked【C16】______. Randall felt confident about【C17】______her parenting, partly【C18】______she had connected with a group【C19】______Free Range Kids. This group【C20】______childhood independence, and gives families the information they need to push back against a culture of overprotection. [br] 【C17】
