Parents Are You Ready? Part 1

Is your child ready for self-care?

The first step in the Home Alone: Preparing for Self-Care program is to determine the readiness of your child or children.

Please watch the following video and follow the instructions given by the narrator.

Parents, complete the assessment Is Your Child Ready for Self-Care?  to help determine if you think your child is ready to stay home alone.

Is Your Child Ready for Self-Care? (printable copy)

If you answered mostly “yes” move on to the next assessment “Are Your Home and Neighborhood Safe?”

If most of your answers were “no”, you may want to wait until your child is older and try the assessment again.

Go to Lesson 1, Part 2: Are Your Home and Neighborhood Safe?
