ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Home Alone

Okay kiddo, so let’s talk about being “home alone”. When you hear that phrase, it means that you are staying at home by yourself without any grown-ups around.

Being home alone can be a big responsibility, but it can also be fun! Here are some things you need to remember:

1. Safety first! Make sure to lock all the doors and windows, and don’t open them for strangers. You should also know how to call emergency services like 911 if you need help.

2. Don’t use any kitchen appliances like the stove or oven unsupervised. You don’t want to start a fire or hurt yourself.

3. Don’t answer the door or the phone for people you don’t know. And don’t give any personal information to anyone who asks for it.

4. Don’t leave the house without permission from a grown-up. It’s important to stay safe and know where you are at all times.

5. You can have some fun too! You can watch your favorite TV show, play some video games, or have a snack. But make sure not to make a mess and clean up after yourself.

Remember, being home alone can be fun but you need to be responsible and stay safe too!
