[quote=Anonymous]I definitely way over-coddled early, but as my son turned 11 and then 12, he's doing more and more for himself. I'm encouraging that, and he naturally wants to do more for himself. his big job is feeding the dog twice a day. he doesn't do his own laundry, but he does take his laundry down to the laundry room. he's starting to show interest in cooking but still prefers if I cook for him. he is in charge of his own schoolwork/homework etc. I enjoyed the early coddling, and he really loved it, so I don't regret that time in his life. this just feels like a natural progression toward independence.[/quote]
