When is your Child Ready?
Every child is different and also the
circumstances requiring them to stay home for a
while. Parents must consider other general
guidelines to figure out if their children are
safe and ready to stay home alone. The age is
definitely an important factor and the childs
maturity level. If you need to leave your
children home alone, make sure they dont stay
alone for too long, especially if your child is
not very independent or good at following
directions. Also, make sure theyre safe and keep
the doors and windows locked.

experienced Salt Lake City child custody attorney

leaving the kids unsupervised. If you have any
