My daughters are 12 and 11

I leave them alone for one or two hours - to start gradually teaching them how to be alone on their own for hours.

Now I only leave them alone up to 4 hours.

I believe it all depends on maturity of each child. My daughters are not the type who would run out of front door to play with strangers. They have cell phone and computer to reach me or their dad if needed.
