[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not asking when can a child stay home alone for short periods of time. I'm talking about a responsible kid who can definitely stay home alone for a few hours at a time. He's pretty introverted, so does not like camps, but parents work. He doesn't know other kids in the neighborhood. When would you let him spend the summer basically alone? [/quote] Never. Not to be helicoptery, but for mental health and academic reasons. If not camp, then some other outside activity like volunteering or working. My yMS DC gets three weeks like what you describe and they are separated by weeks of camp and other structured outside activities. I’m sure some vegging happens on the off weeks, but they provide time to do summer hw.[/quote]
