[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please clarify if this student is coming home to an empty house and will be alone for an hour or kid home with a parent and that parent needs run out for an hour.[/quote] OP here. Empty house some days until parent can drive home early from work. Most days, either DH or I would be there, WFH, but this won't be possible every single day. DD is 11, going into 6th, and has a watch phone for emergencies. OK to be home alone sometimes?[/quote] Yes. I'd discuss with your child rules and expectations for that time. And start practicing now. Leave while you go to the store or do quick errands. 11 is definitely old enough to be alone during daylight hours for a little bit.[/quote]
