School begins on in a few weeks, is your child ready to be home alone? Just like you establish other house rules you should have home alone rules.
Every family has different home alone rules, but here are some rule ideas to discuss with a parent:
"Key" issues!
At school, keep your house keys hidden inside a pocket, purse or wallet.
Don't wear your keys around your wrist or on a necklace.
Don't loan out your key. You might consider leaving an extra key with a neighbor you trust in case you're locked out.
Hiding a key under a rock or a flowerpot isn't a good idea...that's the first place burglars will look!
When you get home, have your key ready to get in the home so you don't have to fumble with the lock.
"Closed Door" policy
Don't open the door to anyone except a sibling or parent.
Keep all doors locked, at all times.
Checking In
Once you've made it home, call your parent or guardian to let them know that everything's cool.
