[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18 is not biological adult it’s a legal adult[/quote] +1 [/quote] I would take the opposite view: 17 may not be a legal adult but they are largely biological adults, and need to be treated as autonomous individuals. And that starts a lot younger than 17. My kids were doing their laundry by 8, cooking by 9 or 10, walking home from school by 8, making their way into DC on their own on buses and metro by 14 or 15. Children need to have increasing agency. I am amazed by the helpless little creatures many parents here are raising.[/quote]
