Home Alone for the Summer….How to Keep Kids Safe Establish House Rules Ahead of Time *Have specific time established for the child to call you and check in. *If child doesn’t check in or answer phone, then your child may be too young to stay alone. *Establish boundaries like whether the child is allowed to play outdoors, where the child can go, etc. *Set appropriate rules about visitors. Decide which friends can come over and for how long. *Decide which appliances the child is allowed to use unsupervised---and make sure the child knows safe and appropriate usage. The microwave is any easy-to-use and convenient appliance, but many kids do not realize that microwaved food can burn them. *Set firm guidelines for snacks, TV and the Internet.
