[quote=Anonymous]You have a perfect opportunity coming up. Your oldest is getting ready to start middle school so it's time for him to grow up. You can tell him that once he starts, he will be expected to get himself up and ready for school and make his own breakfast, monitor his own time, etc. So, now it's time to practice so he will have all of the skills he needs when the time comes. You can just keep adding on expectations because he's getting older and he needs to act like it. This worked really well for me when I wanted to increase independence with my kids. [/quote]
