The Safety Nest
Free printable · one page
Home Alone House Rules
Allowed, ask first, or not while alone. Fill it in together, and you both stop guessing.
The PDF downloads straight from this page, with no email step and no account to make. It prints on any home printer.
What is on the page
- Fourteen real situations: the stove, the door, friends over, screens, the bath
- Three columns so a rule can be conditional instead of just no
- A line for what to do when the plan changes
- A note that caring for a younger sibling is its own separate decision
- Review date and space for both initials
Why this one
Most home alone conflict is not defiance. It is a child guessing at a rule that was never actually said out loud. Writing it down ends the guessing.

If the whole thing would help
This page is one of 41 in the Home Alone Safety Workbook, for ages 9 to 12. The rest covers the parts one page cannot: the plans, the practice, and what to do when something actually happens.
