Kids Alone At Home: Things You Need To Do
Having
said
that,
it
is
also
true
that
all
parents
need
to
spend
some
quality
adult
time
away
from
their
kids.
So
if
you
follow
this
checklist
of
dos
and
don'ts,
leaving
kids
alone
at
home
might
not
be
such
a
hassle.
Things
To
Do
Before
Leaving
Kids
Alone
At
Home:
1. Is Someone Babysitting The Kids? If yes, then it better be a reliable babysitter either hired by you earlier or coming through a recommended source. Never hire random babysitters from vague internet sites because they might be dubious people. There are more stories of accidents happening while babysitting the kids than without any babysitter.
2. List Of Emergency Numbers: You must leave a list of numbers on which you can be contacted in case of an emergency with either the baby sitter or your kids. Include both mobile and landline numbers in this because your mobile may just be out of coverage at an unfortunate time.
3. Never Lock Your Kids In: There have been horror stories of kids who could not escape a fire or an earth quake because they were locked inside the house. You must explain to your kids that they are not to leave home or tell your neighbours that your kids are without parents so be watchful.
4. Teach Kids To Latch The Doors: There are many cases of burglary that happen when the kids are alone at home without parents. Before you leave do a training drill with your kids so that you are assured that they can lock themselves in.
5. Kitchen Is Home Accidents Zone: You must either lock and bar your kitchen before you go, in which case you must leave food for them outside, or turn off the main valve of the gas. Your kids should not use the gas oven when you are not around. All sharp objects (knives, forks etc.) must be out of their reach. It helps to have the refrigerator outside the kitchen because that way you can assure they don't run in to scrounge food.
6. Television Time: Usually when kids are without parents it is a good time for them to have the remote just to themselves. They can watch all the television they want provided you have blocked the channels that are inappropriate for them. Kids are curious and when you are not around they will surf to experiment.
Use these parenting tips to leave your kids alone at home without nagging worries.
