Abstract

Children's independent mobility promotes their physical activity and health. However, parental concerns about neighbourhood safety—traffic and strangers—often reduce children's independent mobility. The study aims to identify various parenting methods for supporting children's everyday use of public space. Using a qualitative retrospective approach with 36 mothers living in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, the study shows that maternal perceptions of threats and dangers obtained from past and present experiences often affect their parenting methods for discouraging the children's movement.
