How can I help my child be more independent and responsible?

A couple of things you can do to help kids learn to be more self-disciplined and more independent when it comes to making decisions about school is to give them opportunities at home to practice those same skills of taking on responsibility at home. Whether it be taking on a chore that they haven't been doing and you want them to do.

If they can't do it at home, more than likely they're going to struggle outside of home. So I would suggest parents to always start at home. See what your child struggles with at home and you're going to know what you'll need to do to help them be more successful outside of home with being disciplined and more responsible.
