I clearly recall the day when I decided my kids are old enough for me to step back and give them a chance to be more independent. I didn’t think about it much, neither have I doubted it – this is what I’ve seen in my childhood, this was what everyone around me used to repeat and so I knew it should be. Once children turn 13-14, they must be able to deal with most of their daily chores and commitments, and once they reach 16 or 17 they can even live by their own.
