[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 14, our daughter did 3 weeks of sleepaway camp, 4 weeks of an intense theater day camp, and then had family vacation and sports try outs. At 16, she was a junior staff counselor at her sleepaway camp for 4 weeks, had a babysitting job for much of the remainder of summer until it was time for sports try outs. We also had a family vacation and she hung out with her friends more that summer bc she could drive. This summer it was harder to make plans ahead of time for sure, but she and all but a couple of her friends were able to get jobs or internships for the summer. [/quote] If the parents make it happen at 14, by 16 the kid will take over. But you have to sign them up for camp, and get them there. Help them sign up for sports try outs, then get them there. If you start at 13-14, they might be able to do some of this on their own by 16. If you start at 16, they will be able to do some of this on their own by 18. [/quote]
