[quote=Anonymous]I find some of the risk assessments on this thread pretty surprising. There is no way I’d have left any of my kids- at age 3- in the house alone while I mowed the lawn. Extremely risky IMO. Not just out of sight but out of earshot, operating loud machinery and unable to hear- no way I would even consider doing that. Ages 1-4ish are such an extremely risky time for accidents, for obvious reasons. I wouldn’t even leave kids those ages with a teenaged sitter- adults only. But a 7yo watching Wild Kratts on the iPad while you run around the corner? Meh. I left mine around 7-8 for a short time in similar scenarios. We lived right around the corner from our elementary school and sports practice fields. [/quote]
