Parenting Tips

                                                    Featured Tip - Leaving a
Child at Home Alone
When is it OK? Ask yourself...

   •   Is your child physically and mentally able to care for himself/herself?
   •   Does your child obey rules and make good decisions?
   •   Does your child feel comfortable or fearful about being home alone?
   •   Is your home safe and free of hazards?
   •   Does your child know where you are and how to contact you at all times?

Make a plan!

   •   Have a trial period. Leave the child alone for a short time while staying close to home.
   •   Role play. Act out possible situations.
   •   Establish rules. Make sure your child knows what is (and is not) allowed when you are
       not home.
   •   Check in. Call your child while you are away.
   •   Don't overdo it. Even a mature, responsible child shouldn't be home alone too much.
