Did you know that UW-Extension offers a free, online self-paced program for children and their caregivers are they prepare to stay home alone? Twelve short videos are available for  both parents and their children who are getting ready to stay home alone.  Parents and children should watch the videos together and use the short activities after each video to discuss your plans to stay safe.

If videos aren’t your thing, there is also the Home Alone workbook available which addresses a child’s readiness for being home alone.  The workbook can be found here.

The Wisconsin Law Library also offers a list of resources for Wisconsin parents titled “Children Home Alone”

Please make use of these resources and make the commitment to keep children safe as they reach this milestone
