Single Parents: How To Know How Long You Can Leave Your Child Alone

How long can I leave my child alone if I'm a single parent?

You can leave your child alone as a single parent depending up on their age. Obviously, when they're very young, they're not sure when you are coming back when you leave, so they may get upset. When they're older, they don't want you to come back, so you find the balance for your child depending upon their age. Make sure that they always know that you're coming back. It's really, really important. Then, when they're a little bit older you can call them and let them know you're on your way home. You know your child, so you'll be able to figure that out.
