The appropriate age for a child to take care of younger siblings varies by individual maturity and responsibility, but generally, children around 10 to 12 years old can start taking on caregiving roles. At this age, they can often handle basic supervision and care tasks, such as feeding and entertaining younger siblings. However, it's essential to consider the specific dynamics of the family and the child's comfort and capability in such responsibilities. Ultimately, parental guidance and assessment are crucial in determining readiness.
