[quote=Anonymous]Mine are 6 and 8, and honestly the 6 year-old is the more level-headed. But... I've left them in the house alone to walk the dog, and have considered going for a 20 or 30 minute when my spouse is away on a trip. We have a fake land-line (highly suggested!) Ooma - so there's a phone on every level of our house. I wanted this for myself honestly - if there's a crazy emergency and I'm in the basement but my mobile phone is on the second floor, or more frequently - I just can't remember where I left it but [insert awful emergency]. But the kids have enjoyed practicing using the phone, and get reminded of how to use it in an emergency, and to not open the door for ANYONE, etc. We do have a dog, which makes me feel better, but not sure he'd actually offer any protection against an intruder or other evil-doer.[/quote]
