Will she be independent when she's an adult???

[Guest guest]

I can't help but occasionally ponder what the future will hold for

my daughter. Will she be independent, will she marry, will she

continue to need constant supervision?

Those of you that have been in this for a while share your thoughts

with me. Did maturity and self independence come naturally or did

everything have to be taught?

Does it matter the level of severity? My daughter is 5 and still is

very dependant on many things that most 5 year peers can do

themselves and want to do themselves. I've got a while yet before

she's reached 18-21. How do you make the decision if they can

manage on their own or is it usually pretty obvious?

Is this something that you can forecast early on or is it a one year

at a time and we'll see approach? Does anyone ever try not to think

very far into the future? How much care will my child need?
