*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR CHILD *** Here line eater !!!

	Although this was a different situation, this does have some
relevance. When my father was stationed in arizona, I was often left
alone in the house, the difference was that I was on an air-force base,
which did not allow me to wander very far. I felt great knowing that
my parents trusted me enough to leave me alone at home, little did I
know that my parents not only had the neighbors watching me, but also
the air-police. ( Knowing the base commander does have its advantages! )

	As Suzanne mentioned, it does have alot to do with the
child, but if you allow the child some freedom, often it can work
out in your favor. The more trust you have in your child, often
is repayed by them haveing more trust in you.


 	My 2 cents.
