[quote=Anonymous]My son loved being able to come home on his own. I was able to change my work hours to earlier so he was only home by himself for about 1 to 1.5 hours. A few things we did to make it work - had him practice unlocking the door. - went over rules of what he could and could not do. - went over what homes around us had adults that would likely be home in case of emergency. - allowed a cell phone. We may have put it off, but it helped. The first few days he face timed me while walking home. I think it made him feel “protected”. After that he would call or text if he had any problems. [/quote]
