Plan for independence
Plan for independence
As your child grows, building confidence in themselves and their skills while still living at home or with other supports is an important step toward adult life. Understanding their strengths and limits - and planning for the support they'll need - helps them make decisions about where they want to live, who they want to live with, and how they want to live their life.
Life skills include what's learned in school, but also everyday skills like taking care of home, managing money, building healthy relationships, and knowing how to get help when needed. These skills work together to help your child become as independent as they want to be.
