Rites of passage. So they can launch. So they can fly.
At 10 years old, our kids start doing their laundry. Start to finish.
At 12, they start making their own doctor and dentist appointments.
At 14, they learn how to roast a chicken.
At 16, they get their driver’s license.
At 18, now they can have access to social media.
Regarding the first four above: Even if they don’t want to. Especially if they don’t want to.
Wow. You didn’t kid around! And look how capable they are now. Bravo! Kudos to your parenting style.
