I was interviewed by Jessica Meyers, a writer from the Dallas Morning News, about when is it safe to leave children home alone. The interview was stimulated by a news story of a 13-year old who was at home with her 6-year old sister and a robber entered their house. The 13-year old acted in a grand fashion to thwart the robber by locking herself and her sister in the bathroom and calling the police.
The article that Jessica wrote includes a discussion of the issues to consider when deciding whether or not to leave children home alone, as well as some guidelines that I and other parenting authorities suggested.
