[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 7, extremely responsible and reliable, and follows instructions well. This year we have started leaving her home alone for 5-10 minutes while we run to the corner store (truly around the corner) or a neighbor's house. It's gone well and we intend to expand on this a bit as she turns 8, maybe increasing this to 30 minutes. We have to figure out the communication aspect before we extend it. Right now she has the ability send a message to us via the iPad if necessary, but no ability to call us. We'll have to figure this out before we can go beyond 15 minutes, or before we go anywhere more than a block or two away.[/quote]
