Daring Daisy

If you answered mostly a’s, you’ve probably

been feeling ready to stay home alone for a

while now. You’re easygoing and feel sure you

can handle any challenge that comes your

way. But sometimes you may be too quick to

respond. Slow down. Take some time to think

before you act. Thinking things through will

help you make good decisions on your own.

Reliable Rose

If you answered mostly b’s, you are capable

and reliable—two great qualities! You’re

probably ready to stay home by yourself,

but you may still be feeling a little uncertain.

Perhaps you’re worried that you’ll have too

much responsibility, or that you’ll get lonely

or bored. Talk with your parents about what

is worrying you. Together, you can figure out

what you need to feel comfortable with the

new arrangement.

Panicky Petunia

If you answered mostly c’s, you may like the idea

of staying home alone but easily get the jitters.

Or you’re not sure about the idea at all but may

not have a choice. Why not try a couple of test

runs first—say, while your parents run an errand

or visit with a neighbor. If you still don’t feel

ready, tell your parents how you feel and talk

about finding an alternative. Your school

counselor can tell you about other options

that are available in your area.
