[quote=Anonymous]At 8 30 minutes to 1 hour about once a week. I would go for a walk, to a neighbors, to the store. By 9 we had left him home up to 2 hours about once a month. We built up how long he would stay home alone. At 11 he would stay home for 5 hour on a regular basis. He is 13 now and stays home all day sometimes. I have 2 we did the same with the other who is now 11. He is actually a little more responsible so he could stay home alone for longer periods earlier. Staying home together was a little more complicated but they stay home together without fighting all day now. They can't have friends in. They must call to go to a friends. They can only use e microwave and toaster oven for food. (We have a gas stove). [/quote]
