[quote=Anonymous]I wake her. She gets out of bed, brushes teeth, etc., gets dressed, makes breakfast and lunch. I help her if she's running late, but try not to. It has taken almost the entire school year to get to this point. She's gone without lunch once or twice because she wouldn't get out of bed, and I wouldn't make her lunch. But the routine is better now that 6th grade is nearly over. Next year, I'm not going to help her at all. She has an alarm clock and she can wake herself up. My older DD got herself up, dressed, etc. all by herself starting at the end of 5th grade. She always did everything all through high school. She's in college now, so is independent, and I hope, is taking care of herself. At least she says she is. I would not baby a 6th grader. I feel my younger daughter is overly reliant on me. She is gradually becoming more independent. Next year will be the test. [/quote]
