Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: kids in Common House alone?

[R.N. Johnson (cohoranda]

At New Brighton Cohousing, young kids are expected to be under the supervision 
of an adult when they are in the common house.  They are occasionally 
unsupervised for a few minutes while a parent runs home to grab something, if 
they have been behaving.  Our one older child is very responsable, and is 
allowed in the common house unsupervised, but generally doesn't spend time 
there alone. I suspect if and when we have teens who like to spedn a lot of 
time in the common house, the rules will be tightened.
