At what age is it ok to let kids eat unsupervised? I'm a bit nervous because I remember even being older (like elementary-school aged) and having choking incidents. But at the same time, I don't want to be a nut mom LOL. What age do you ladies think?

I'll leave my 3 year old alone at the table when she is eating but it's not for a long period of time. I've also started to let her eat in the car which is huge for me because that was a big choking fear.

Kaitlyn was about 3. I'm paranoid about choking especially if Im not in the area to hear or see them. I'll leave Kaitlyn at the table though at breakfast time since I can see her from the kitchen and living room, but I wouldnt let Kaileigh at this point.

I leave Samantha alone to eat, sometimes Charlotte if i need to use the bathroom. Out of those 2, Charlotte is the only one who drinks in the car, my 2 yr old loves to make a mess with her milk.

I let my older three eat alone at the table. Noah I will leave at the table to run and get something quickly only if one of the other three is at the table with him.
