I need to run an errand but I can't find someone to look after my child. He's 8 years old. It should be okay to leave him alone at home for an hour, right?

It is not advised to leave an 8-year-old home alone for an hour. Depending on the location and resources available, it is best to take an adult with you to supervise the child. This can also reduce any stress or anxiety for the parent or caregiver who needs to run the errand. There are also several options available for child care during short periods of time, including paid services and support from family and friends.
