[quote=Anonymous]OP, ours is pretty similar. 10 yo DD showers herself, but calls me when she's done to help her get out and then braid her hair. She *can* braid her own hair, but getting the leave-in conditioner distributed first is tricky. Then she gets into her PJs by herself, and brushes her teeth by herself, but one parent is sort of in the vicinity making sure things keep moving. We do all that right after dinner before a family TV show. Then it's back upstairs to get into bed and one parent reads a story and sings a couple songs. Subtract the TV show and it's probably 45 - 60 minutes. IMO, fostering independence means she can do it herself, not that she needs to do it alone. Also, at this age they still need some quality control on the hygeine, e.g., reminder to put on deodorant in the morning. [/quote]
