[quote=Anonymous]7 isn't actually too young to be left alone for an hour at dinner time or any time, legally, in most places. Many states and counties do not set a specific age at which children can or cannot be alone at home. In the PP's example, I'm imagining leaving a child at 5:30 to finish dinner while you take the other child to a Scout meeting, knowing that your spouse will be home by 6 or 6:30. So you tell the child to finish dine, clear your plate, and get PJs on, and then the other parent will be home. Personally, my 7 year olds would not have been ready for that but maybe some people's 7 year olds are! [/quote]
