text: Let them grow up. After each year of school is over they go onto the next, and during the summer they should be challenged with a self designed project to help them be more independent. With this they are able to get themselves mentally ready for the upcoming school year. Each year gets harder and being tasked with this will give them the experience of handling things alone and figuring out exactly how to manage it. Meaning that they will learn helpful skills about time management, responsibility, and independence. These also help them outside of school for certain situations like social events or job interviews when they need to be by themselves and they will know from this how to handle it accordingly.
