Your parents may need time to get used to this. As you become more independent, they need to take a step back and leave more decisions to you. When you become an adult, your role\u2014and your parents\u2019 role\u2014changes. Sometimes parents find this difficult: they are so used to taking care of things for you that they forget it\u2019s now about doing things <em data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"628\">with<\/em> you, so that eventually you can do them completely on your own.<\/p><p data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"973\">Some parents want to protect their children too much and shield them from making mistakes. But only by doing things yourself can you discover what you are already capable of independently and what you still need to learn.
