[quote=Anonymous]I have kids that are currently 13-19 years old. By age 8, I felt comfortable leaving my oldest at home while I was at a playgroup for my younger child (in the neighborhood, about 1/4 mile away) By age 10 I would leave a child alone for about half an hour-1 hour while I went to a store (about 2 miles away) By age 12 I would leave him alone with his younger brother (age 10) while Dh and I went out to dinner (the younger children were at a parents night out event) By age 14 my oldest could be home alone watching all the younger children (youngest was 8 at the time.)[/quote]
