[quote=Anonymous]I let my middle schooler come home after school and camp, and stay home alone for a few days at a time. For example, on Spring Break, I might take 2 days of leave to take him somewhere special with a friend, and have him stay home the other 3 days. He also played a sport that started daily practice in the afternoons on August 1st and I'd let him stay home in the morning and then get a ride to practice with a friend. But for my kid, longer than that (e.g. a whole week at home with no afternoon practice, or multiple weeks in the summer) was too much. His sleep and eating would get kind of disorganized and he'd get grouch and off schedule. Now that he's in HS he's better able to regulate that, but I still prefer that he has something to do each week, this year it's a part time job, and working out with his team a few days a week.
