The year or two before college is a pivotal time in your teen’s life, and it’s important for them to feel confident about their choices, whether daily or long term. You might find they’re still afraid to make decisions, scrutinize consequences carefully, or commit to one course of action. Allowing your child to make more and more of their own decisions, like doing their own laundry or choosing which college to attend, will help them understand the discipline and self-determination an adult needs to function well in the real world.
