[quote=Anonymous]These answers are strange. Who cares if your son can do laundry or cook a meal for the family. That’s not a sign of independence. The most dependent kid could do that. How about traveling alone? Getting back and forth to school and activities independently? Planning his own schedule? Coordinating his own activities? Finding a job, and having new responsibilities at work Pursuing independent interests and passions Taking care of his own banking and money Being responsible for some household chores Being responsible for siblings or grandparents Being trusted to handle significant things at home/school/work - deliveries, pet care, shoveling snow, letting contractors in and out, etc Being able to spend the night/weekend alone [/quote]
