Parents often feel - and rightly so in many cases - that they can leave their responsible older teen home alone at night if they work a late shift or if they are going away. They sometimes set up check-ins with other family members or teens will call to check-in. If you have left your teen home overnight, please share your advice with our parenting teen’s community.

Alone overnight?

My 16 year old daughter is mature, bright(smart) and responsable. However, she is 16 and there is no way I am giving her the responsability of being home alnight, alone! She has an adulthood around the corner for that.
