The decision to leave your child home alone is a very personal decision that needs to be made based on your feelings and experience with your child. Washington state does not have any laws or rules that say at what age a child can be left home alone. In general, children under 10 should not be left on their own, and babies and younger children should not be left alone even for a few minutes. Here are some questions to ask your self before you leave your child home alone. Does your child feel at all frightened or apprehensive about staying home alone?
Does your child follow your instructions and your rules?
Can you count on your child to tell you the truth?
Can your child be counted on to stay clearheaded in an unexpected or emergency situation?
Can you child calmly dial 911, give their full name (and yours), street address and phone number, and explain the situation?
You might feel most comfortable starting out leaving your child alone for short periods of time. Go slowly and make sure that you and your child are comfortable with the situation.
im not sure in the us, but in the uk, as long as the arent feels that the children are responsible enough, and that they are safe, im not sure theres an exact age. it depends on the children and the parents.
