Does anyone out there have an 11/12 year old with a history of seizure who stays home alone all day?

Hi! I am fine to stay at home by myself and I am 13 years old. However, my parents keep close tabs on me in case of the event of a seizure. There are also rules that I stay in a certain place in the house that is away from hazardous things during a seizure. If your child has a phone, check up on them frequently and make sure that they reach you if anything happens.

there are a lot of seizure variants so there's really no way there's one single answer to this ... is your child currently still having seizures? are they disabling? if the child is otherwise someone you'd allow to be at home alone and seizures aren't an actual big deal then don't let fear of seizures control decisions. your means might impact your choices here, that's a different metric.
