Some say it takes a village to raise a child…
You could teach your child what they need to know about staying home alone.
But let’s face it. Sometimes it’s easier to hear something from someone else.
Plus, during the course, your child will be learning first aid skills. Although you learned these skills in the last first aid course you took. You may not feel comfortable teaching them to your child. Or, quite frankly have the time.
After taking this course, your child will be ready to discuss with you the logistics of them staying home alone.
We make it easier to have those conversations. To ease the transition to the next stage of independence.
For both of you.
