Question 2

Can an 11-year old go to the mall alone?

As a general guideline, 12 years of age is around the age I would start feeling comfortable letting my child go to the mall by themself. I would be concerned a younger child would not have a high enough maturity level to handle the responsibility.

Question 3

At what age should I let my daughter go out with friends?

The minimum age I would feel comfortable letting my child (boy or girl) go out with friends without the supervision of mom and dad or another trusted adult is 12 years of age. A younger child may not have the maturity level to make good decisions without adult supervision.
