Many families make some house rules to make sure that everyone has a safe and happy home environment when they're home alone. Different families have different rules，but here are some rules many families follow：
Keep your house keys hidden inside a pocket.
Don't lend your keys to others.
Hiding a key under a rock or a flowerpot isn't a good idea.
Don't open the door to anyone except a sibling（兄弟姐妹）or parent.
Keep all doors locked at all times.
Most families have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when someone's at home alone. This may be no fun but in the end，it is safer for everyone.
Your parents may want you to stay at home and go nowhere-not even a friend's house，the park，or the store.
Many parents ask their kids to wait until a parent is home before going online.
These may sound pretty strict，but you'll be surprised how they help you feel safe！
