Child Supervision & Babysitting Guidelines
Prince William County Department of Social Services recommends your child be trained in self-care techniques prior to be left at home alone (if age and developmentally appropriate). In the event of an emergency, your child should have a knowledge of how to deal with conflicts with friends/siblings, handling loneliness/boredom/fear, personal safety, simple first aid or an emergency and how to contact a responsible adult if needed.
