[quote=Anonymous]The answer to the title question is "yes, that's basically the goal of parenting." Get them to the point where they can survive in the wild without you. I don't know what ages you're working with, but by the end of elementary school, if not earlier, they should be able to do what you mentioned with less and less prompting. First you do it for them, then you do it with them, then you make a list and have them check it off and you check, then they do it alone without you checking, then they make their own list, etc etc then eventually they pretty much do it all.[/quote]
