[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start gentle when they are young and eager to be independent. I had a parent shocked at pick up when their 16 month old hustled over and put her own winter boots on. The same carries well into the teen years. We are looking to raise adults not children. They can make their own lunch, prepare a dinner, do laundry, and learn basic car and house maintenance.[/quote] Its a good thing you never dealt with SN kids. Kids can be supported by their parents early and still develop their independence. So, can you change the oil in your car, replace the toilet in your house, install windows, doors and more? [/quote]
