[quote=Anonymous]It isn't just the age - it is about how responsible and independent the kids are. I have a 9 yr old going into 4th grade and I wouldn't hesitate to have her be a latchkey kid for 30 minutes. She has frequently stayed at home alone for an hour or two and manages just fine. My son is almost 8 and I imagine it will be years before I can leave him, even with his older more mature sister. He is impulsive, easily distracted and in his own little world and I have no faith he would manage on his own. [/quote]
