[quote=Anonymous]When my husband used to travel a lot for work, I would often leave my four and six-year-olds at home while I went for a 40 minute run. If if they hadn’t been exceptionally well-behaved children, and there hadn’t been good neighbours in our street, I wouldn’t have done it. If they were kids who broke rules or pushed boundaries, I wouldn’t have done it. If your kid is going to look for matches, climb out the window, go outside into the street, etc, don’t do it, even if they are 8 years old. Eight years is not a magic figure. You need to use judgement based on your child’s maturity and development. [/quote]
