[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would continue in the safe space. I would also be prepared that she may need to live at home and attend college nearby for at least the first year or so. I used to feel that lack of independence at 18 was a huge disservice to the child. Now I see things differently. As long as your child is continuously making progress and growing, I would give them the most supportive environment possible. There’s no reward for being independent at 18 versus 20 BUT if she ruins her GPA by having a tough transition into HS or college, it’s nearly impossible to recover. I hope I’m being clear. I absolutely think that you need to increase demands and help her work towards becoming fully independent, I just don’t think that 18 needs to be that hard deadline. [/quote]
