In my conversations with parents, I hear comments such as “Don’t provide him with accommodations for his dyslexia; he needs to do it on his own, or he’ll never learn;” or “I know she has executive function deficits and sometimes struggles to turn in her work on time, but she’ll learn, if you just give consequences;” or “I’m going to put him in another independent school before he goes to college, or he will never make it in life. He doesn’t need all these supports.” [Read More](https://blog.curreyingram.org/blog/pressures-and-their-effect-on-teens) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.curreyingram.org/blog/pressures-and-their-effect-on-teens#comments-listing) ## [Helping Your Teen Grow in Independence (Part II)](https://blog.curreyingram.org/blog/helping-your-teen-grow-in-independence-part-ii) Posted by [Dr. Jane Hannah, Upper School Division Head](https://blog.curreyingram.org/blog/author/dr-jane-hannah-upper-school-division-head) on Feb 26, 2020 9:00:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.curreyingram.org/hubfs/Blog%2c%20teens%20washing%20dishes.jpg)](https://blog.curreyingram.org/blog/helping-your-teen-grow-in-independence-part-ii) As mentioned in last week’s post, it was suggested that the first place to start in helping a teen gain more independence is to evaluate one’s own parenting style. The parenting style referred to as the authoritative or assertive-democratic style typically is more closely aligned with the parent who wants to gradually release control so the teen becomes a wise decision-maker and can successfully live independently. In this style, the parent provides emotional support to the teen but also sets expectations and guidelines while involving the teen in some decisions when appropriate.

These interventions are determined based on the student’s psychoeducational assessment and ongoing classroom interactions and performance.
