While molding values and guiding decisions are an important part of parenting, you mist have realistic view of your child's strength sand weakness. At some point you must move over and give our child room to grow. According to Stacy DeBroff, a child that is independent and responsible at home will apply the same qualities at school. Below are somethings you can do to help your child become more responsible:

1. Assign chores (Examples: doing laundry, washing dishes, feeding pets, cleaning room, taking out trash)

2. Give your child an alarm clock and let your child be in charge of waking up.

3. Let your child pick out what to wear to school as long as it is reasonable.

4. Let you child learn from mistakes. If your child chooses to get up fifteen minutes late, then let the child deal with possibly missing breakfast or running to the bus.
