[quote=Anonymous]I have started doing this with my 8.5 yr old. I run to pick up the pizza (doesn't deliver to my house) and she stays home. I take sibling to his class and DH is expected home in a short time. Never at night. There was a time when she didn't want to be alone in the house (when she was 6, 7 yrs. old), but now she likes knowing that she can have some independent time. I also factor in that she is a rule-follower and not a wild child. She's not necessarily super mature, but this is good practice for her to know that she is o.k. even if no one is around.[/quote]
