The North Dakota Department of Human Services and Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota have joined to offer help to parents trying to make decisions on child care for the summer.
The agencies have developed a brochure to provide answers to some of the most common questions concerning supervision of children.
The brochure is titled, "Home Alone: Is Your Child Ready?"
"It can be a challenge for parents when deciding whether their child is ready to stay at home alone because kids mature at different stages and there is no 'magic' age," said Marlys Baker, children protection services administrator in Human Services.
The brochure and other resources for parents are available online or by calling Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota at 1-800-403-9932.
