Answer

I was 7 when my mom started leaving me home alone lol

Answer

I was stayed home alone at 8-9 years old. It was a very nice area so there was no danger or anything. I was very mature for my age though, I grew up fast but a lot of kids wouldn’t be able to handle that. Depending on your kids you can say what age because it depends heavily on the kids and their maturity levels.

Answer

My mom let me stay home for a couple hours starting in 6th grade. But we also lived in a very family friendly child oriented neighborhood. So even if the kids were left home alone there was always an adult home in some house of we needed anything. I think it really depends on the kid and how mature they are and the neighborhood they live in. My aunts 13 year old is no where near mature enough to stay home alone
