[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not allowing your 8 year old to do drop off play dates isn't doing her any favors. She needs to know that you trust her to be in the world without you and that the world is generally a safe place. At 8 or 9, I was leaving my kids home alone for short periods of time, although never with friends. At 9 or 10, with good friends where I knew the parent and had discussed it beforehand, I would leave them home alone for very short periods (for example, if my schedule required that I leave 30 minutes before the other parent could pick up).[/quote] OP here. I allow it, she asks me to stay. She wants me to make friends too lol. [/quote]
