[quote=Anonymous]I would just not worry to much that they aren’t learning independence. They are both very young. The difference between 5/6 and 10 is huge- they will mature and get there. I’d do whatever is best for your relationship- sounds like that’s body doubling for now. But it really won’t be forever.

We also do checklists- my kids love checking a box. I think your six year old might be able to use one. But the steps are waaaay broken down. Like take off pajama shirt. Take off pajama pants. Put on school shirt. Put on school pants. We did this recently when mornings were getting bad for my 7 year old, because he was outgrowing the body doubling and wanting more space. He would get a point for each box that he did with out a reminder and would earn prizes (extra screen time, you all can come at me but it works) for roughly 2-3 days worth of checklists. I was worried that we were going to have to do that forever but now he just gets ready. No check list or prizes. Very proud of him.[/quote]
