[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you feel comfortable leaving your 5 year old home with your 11 year old for an hour or two while you take middle child to a sporting practice? I looked on VA website and it looks like there are recommendations but not any legal enforcement of age when kids can stay home alone. What age have you allowed kids to stay home? [/quote] I have a 6 year old and almost 10 year old. I have left them together for short periods every now and then starting a year ago. The older one is responsible though, and knows how to call 911 or contact me or a neighbor in an emergency. In reality, I turned on separate programs on separate TVs and they were both in the same spot when I returned. I wouldn't do it regularly though. [/quote]
