[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^agree^^ When I was 12, I was able to be left home caring for an infant sibling as well as my other siblings. It worries me that there are 10-12-yr olds who can't be left alone for 20 minutes while mom runs an errand. [/quote] When I was 12, I would do basic meal prep before my parents came home. Chopping, preheating the oven, sauteeing, etc. I was taught kitchen safety at a young age. Most people will barely let their 12YO touch a stove. Is it because we're smarter now, or because we're scared to let kids learn how to do things? [/quote]
