[quote=Anonymous]Jeeze, here I was wondering if it's too soon for me to leave my almost 13 year old alone for the night (settle down, settle down, I won't... ....). We regularly leave him all day while we are at work then go out to dinner afterward. "There are leftovers in the fridge or make yourself something" are common phases. We love him, protect him, but want him to be a confident, happy adult who knows he's TRUSTED by us. For heaven's sake, give your kid a chance to prove himself to you AND HIMSELF. If you don't give him space to grow, and fail, he'll never get there. And people, let go of the oh my god I'll be out of cell range panic. Let the kid figure out 'minor' emergency situations and make sure they know what to do in a major one (might I suggest teaching them about 9-1-1...) Let your kid grow up. He'll be so much happier in his life. Don't make it about you. [/quote]
