[quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe it will help you to envision your kids once they are out of your house and think about what skills they will be lacking if you do everything for them now. If you decide what colleges they should apply to in high school, and check or help with their homework, and tell them how to interact with friends, will they have the skills to choose their classes wisely in college? To decide what extracurricular activities to get involved with? To get papers done on time? To apply for jobs after graduation? To get their own apartments and pay bills? Or are you going to keep doing those things for them forever? Think about non-intervention not as slacking off as a parent but as allowing your kids to learn the skills of self-sufficiency, internal motivation, and self-confidence.[/quote]
