[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can he plunge a toilet? Turn the water off/on near every toilet and sink in the house and the main water source? Turn main power off/ on? Use a fire extinguisher? Apply a tourniquet to himself? Know how to self heimelic (sp) maneuver? [/quote] That’s quite a list. My 16 year old, and I assume the vast majority of teens who stay alone even overnight are not able to do many of those things. [/quote] What? I knew all of these by 16. The hoses take a minute to explain. My dad showed me where the water main and the breaker were sometime in middle school. The first aid is covered in a lifeguarding course. I can see a 9 year old not knowing them, but 16?[/quote]
