Psychological weaning

Learningpost, Edward Roy Krishnan, PHD, Published on 24/08/2010

» Experience tells us that as students get older, their parents and teachers gradually let go of them and expect them to soon fend for themselves. While this is necessary to prepare students for independent thinking and living when they reach early adulthood, I am inclined to think that this sort of psychological weaning has to be done with caution.
