1. When a stranger phones:
Never tell them you are home alone
Say: "my mom is having a bath", or "my dad is asleep and will call back, can I take your name and number?"
Never go to the door, ignore the ringing
Pretend that there is no one home, they will come back later
Children left at home alone often experience feelings of loneliness, fear, boredom, and anxiety. Establish a daily schedule so your child knows what to do when they are home alone.
