Subject: RE: Lazy and Uninvolved Parents
You want a kid to mature, let them live life. Sometimes you have to get bit to know the dog bites.
If you never let kids take responsibility or have any, they will never be responsible. Start early and let them face the consequences for their actions. When they get in trouble at school, let them face the consequences (don't try to get them out of it).
Same applies in other areas of life. Stop babying them and they will stop acting like babys. Then they will learn what responsibility and consequences are and they will be mature enough to drive.
Responsibility is learned as is maturity. There is no age, it's training and expereince.
