[quote=Anonymous]8 is the minimum legal age where I live. My 9 yo stays home from school for half a day or so by herself if she's mildly ill and I have meetings and things I can't miss at work. She has TV, I leave soup and other food prepared for her, and we are surrounded by homes where people either dont work or work at home. We have a landline and she has an apple watch she can use to call for help. She's also a rule follower, so I can trust her not to misbehave. My worst fear is that she would fall or choke on something when she is by herself, but realistically that could happen to anyone at any age. I'm less likely to leave my 12 yo and 9 yo home together because they would likely murder each other.[/quote]
