There is a tricky balance of creating academic independence in your child but trying to remain connected with their academic progress.
I have worked with many families that firmly believed they were giving their child “independence” and “responsibility”, but in reality it means parents disengage from the academic process. While some students are well adept at the skills needed to be academically successful, such as time management, study skills, and problem solving, most teens are just learning these skills and have yet to master them.
