[quote=Anonymous]My 9-10 year old 4th grader walked home from school alone most days and is allowed to walk to the school playground or some close friends’ houses alone. I wouldn’t leave her at a playdate where she was unsupervised, but if a parent & kid I trusted asked if they could pop out for 15 minutes to grab dinner and leave the kids alone, I would say yes no problem. My kid is responsible and has a Gizmo to contact me/be tracked. My 7-8 year old 2nd grader is very occasionally left at home with his sister but not for more than 30 minutes and not routinely. He’s very responsible and I may get him the Gizmo in 3rd grade.[/quote]
