[quote=Anonymous]I did this starting at about 10, but was actually alone, unless my 17 year old sister came home from wherever she was. It was so so so lonely. Yes, I had friends to call, and I walked to the pool, but I don't know, I wouldn't want to do that to my kids. I had two weeks of sleepaway camp in there too, so it wasn't even the whole summer. I don't think it's terrible to do this, but if you decide to, I would have a backup plan, just in case. I honestly think all that alone time affected my mental health in later years. Alternatives would be half day camps, or the camps where they do a field trip to a fun place each day. Or a babysitter for part of each day, just to hang out with him (even better if you can find a teenage boy). [/quote]
