[quote=Anonymous]It’s like some parents do not understand the teen years are the transition years from childhood to adulthood. Your job as a parent is to parent them thru thus transfer. So by 16 a teen should be able to drive, babysit, cook, clean, do their own laundry, process basic logical problems, have most of their street smarts, handle most friend and relationship problems etc…. You help guide them. Not smother them. So yes, a 16 year old can stay a few nights alone if you parented correctly. [/quote]
