[quote=Anonymous]I’d base it on the child, rather than what guidelines etc say. All 3 of my kids were fine being alone for 15-20min by age 8, if not 7. Totally depends on the details. My 12yos were definitely fine being left over 3hrs, or even a full work day, although it isn’t something that happened often. I would not leave my oldest (almost 16) overnight yet. Many would disagree on various aspects of that, which is totally fine. Depends on the kid, sometimes the house/neighborhood, depends where the parents will be and how reachable they are, depends on nearby support system (neighbors, nearby family or friends etc).
