[quote=Anonymous]Lots of X factors here - maturity of oldest, which sounds good, but also how much supervision does the Kindergartner need? If K gets into trouble very easily and needs constant supervision, my answer is different than if K is chill and would happily play with magnatiles quietly for an hour. Also - length of time you need to be gone matters. But even with a naughty K and a fairly long time (like 3-4 hours) I'd leave him with the 7th grader. 7th grade is pretty old. If K was reasonably well behaved, I'd probably have left him with a responsible 5th grader for 30mins-1hr. I'd also probably leave a responsible 4th grader home alone for 30 mins to an hour, but not with the K. [/quote]
