Not suitable under 7; parental guidance to 9 (slapstick violence, coarse language, and some sexual references) This topic contains: a review of Home Alone completed by the Australian Council on Children and the Media (ACCM) on 30 April 2020.

Home Alone is rated PG for language and slapstick violence which means it may not be suitable for all ages. There is some language in Home Alone including a couple of uses of a**, sh**, bit*h, damn, and hell.

Common Sense Media has ranked Home Alone, which is rated PG, as appropriate for children ages 10 and older, though parents on the site say 8 and older is fine. But again, it's simply knowing your child and what makes them tick, so to speak.

There is no national age minimum for when kids can be left home alone. When is it OK to leave kids home alone? Generally, 12 and older is “a pretty acceptable age,” family therapist Sheryl Ziegler tells TODAY.com, echoing the recommended range from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
