Letting my kids walk a couple blocks to the library was a big step for all of us two summers ago. As was leaving them at home for short time periods. I use the Greenlight debit cards for them to spend money and they have learned to interact with cashiers while I watch from a distance.

For me autonomy and personal responsibility are a natural pairing. If they forget to bring something to school I am not always going to bail them out.

Love the idea of putting them in charge of their own spending transactions. Thanks!
