Is your teen asking for more freedom - but you’re not sure if they’re ready?

Parenting through the independence stage can feel tricky. You want your teenager to grow confident and capable, but you also want to keep them safe. Here are 7 clear signs your teen may be ready for more independence.

Here are 7 signs I look for:

• They follow through on responsibilities without constant reminders.

• They manage schoolwork or chores independently.

• They make safe, thoughtful decisions.

• They show good judgment with friends/social activities.

• They communicate openly and honestly with you.

• They handle mistakes without giving up.

• They show initiative in learning new skills.

These are just the starting points. The truth is, independence isn’t automatic — it’s built on practical skills your teen can practice every day. That’s why I created Advanced Life Skills for Teen Girls - a step-by-step guide to help teens grow more independent, resilient, and confident as they prepare for high school, college, and beyond.
