[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I remember being in this situation as a 14 year old. I had previously stayed home for a couple hours many times and was fine. but 8+ hours is a long time. By the time it got dark (I had previously stayed home in the dark fine), I was already lonely, bored, and creating weird horror story possibilities in my head. Anyway, I survived but I do remember the first time I was home for that long being different. I recommend some sort of plans where she gets dropped back at home before dark or a few chores for her to do, some recommended activities, etc. and tell her to save her favorite movie/show for later in the evening. She will be fine and needs to get used to it, but it does feel like a long time the first time! And I would totally check on her once in a while. Not in a checking way but just a little text conversation of some kind. [/quote]
