[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I would totally do this. I started leaving my 2nd at home alone at this age when I needed to drive older sibling to things and my spouse wasn't around. In the beginning, I would call her on family ipad and stay on the line with her during the ride. This was both for my own reassurance and her. And go over basics about what to do very specifically. What if someone knocks on the door (most realistic and probable), what if the house is on fire, what if a smoke alarm goes off, etc. You really need to be clear with them to NEVER EVER answer the door. For some reason, my kids really want to answer the door if someone knocks.[/quote]
