[quote=Anonymous]We want to prepare our 12-YO to stay home alone for a few hours. Aside from going over: emergency and cell numbers, which neighbors to go to, not to use the stove, and not to open the door, is there anything we're forgetting? Also, what is the current thinking on what she should say if someone comes to the door? In our neighborhood we get lots of solicitors. Is she supposed to say something like "Sorry, I can't open the door, go away" or alternatively is she supposed to pretend that an adult is there and say something like "my mom isn't available, go away"? (Our front door has a small safety-glass window that can be talked through.) Thanks in advance for any help! [/quote]
