Thanks for providing the perspective, Laura. I agree that changes in policies and practices are needed. I hope we can identify measures of increasing independence and competence that will allow us to assess whether any changes that we all (parents, educators, policy makers, etc.) make actually help "move the needle" in beneficial directions. How will we know if what we're doing is working?
