9. Home alone rules
Teach your child to evaluate the situation when entering home without you. If everything is in order – they should walk in, lock the door, and call the parents to say they’re home and everything is fine. If someone calls on the phone or knocks on the door, children shouldn’t say that parents aren’t home. Your child should say that the parents can’t come up to the door or phone right now, and ask if there is any message for them. Never open the door!
