There are several things to consider in this situation.

One, if the epilepsy is under control or if there is a chance that the child will have a seizure. Also, consider how mature and capable the 13 year old is and if they have been babysitting their siblings at other times.

Also, the age of the siblings and if they know what to do in case the 13 year old has a seizure.

Another thing to consider is how close the parents will be or if there is a trusted adult who will be near by in case of emergency.

What age can siblings watch younger siblings in Ontario?

12yrs old is the youngest one can babysit and training is required. When it comes to children younger than that you will be leaving them alone. Depending on the children that may be OK depending on the situation, Ontario doesn't have a minimum age for leaving children alone because it is so hard to define. To be safe have your 12yr old attend a babysitting course. It will be educational and maybe even profitable as they could then babysit others.


How do people with epilepsy get on at home?

Most people with epilepsy live very normal lives, so they get on very well at home. I am registered disabled due to my uncontrolled epilepsy - no medications control my seizures. I am unable to leave the house, bathe alone, walk up stairs alone, walk outside alone, drive, swim etc. I do not have good quality of life at all and the medications give me horrendous side effects.


What is the legal age for a child in the state of Oregon to be left alone with a younger sibling?

There is no law regarding this. However, the child must feel safe, be safe and know how to get help if needed. In most cases, a 12 or 13 year old could watch a sibling a few years younger for a couple of hours during the day. But siblings are never effective in watching each other, as rivelry will often cause problems.

Can a 13 year old in Arkansas stay at home alone with younger siblings?

While it depends on the laws of your specific state, 13 is usually safe. Some states permit siblings as young as 10 or 11 to care your younger siblings. Some states have no specific age, and all states leave ultimate liability with the parents. depends how many there are and the age of them, i'd suggest not to , but if younger siblings are over the age of 10 then there shouldn't be any problems, just tell them not to touch the fires, cookers etc, they should be ok, as long as you're not leaving for a long period of time.
