[quote=Anonymous]Interesting how "old" parents think kids need to be in order to stay home alone (8, 9, 10+)-- but go on over to the thread about flying alone and those parents are sending their 6 year olds on to planes alone and bashing people who think that's crazy! I would leave my 7 and 9 yr. olds at home for a quick walk around the neighborhood (30 min.) but I would never send them flying without me at this age. I guess everyone has their own standards. My 9 yr. old is fine staying home by herself for an hour or two (daylight, no meals needed). She likes staying home by herself. I have a friend with a 12-13 yr. old who won't stay home by herself. I guess it depends on the child's track record and self-security.[/quote]
