[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can she call 911? If so, yes. She’s 8. 8 year olds can stay home alone for multiple hours, but this gen is overprotective.[/quote] +1 OP, she's probably ready. Sit her down and tell her why you weren't considering this before, and why you are considering a change now. Or, what you want to see from her, before you would start leaving her home. If you don't, you'll be teaching her that arguing and wearing you down is the way for her to get what she wants. Does she have Internet access that you can't lock down 100% on the family tablet? If she does, leaving her home with it would be a hard no from me. Most parents today under protect in the digital world and overprotect in the real world. Don't make that mistake. [/quote]
