[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Debating this in our house now. Our responsible 8 year old says she's ready, but DH is not. But there are times when it would come in handy, like I'm running late getting home and he needs to leave for something. It feels like unnecessary scheduling stress when DD could just hang out for 20-30 minutes until I get back. She knows she can run to the neighbors in case of emergency, knows not to use the stove/microwave or open the door for anyone. [/quote] Honestly it should be fine. Our rule at the younger ages was always “no kitchen- period”. They’d just sit and watch a show. For 30min it is fine. [/quote]
