[quote=Anonymous]The recommendation in Virginia is 13 but I’d absolutely do it with a 11.5/12 year old 6th grader BUT you should first give the 6th grader some opportunities to stay home alone. That should probably have started in 3rd/4th grade for 14-20 minutes and then building up to an hour or two by now. If she’s never been home alone, I’d do that before giving her the responsibility of a 5 or 6 year old. [/quote]
