Well, sure. But are some children better at learning to do things for themselves than others, and does that have anything to do with the preparation their parents gave them before the children left? When I left home for the first time to go to college, for the first few weeks of the semester many of the women in my dorm were miserably homesick, really unhappy and scared. I wasn't the least bit homesick or scared. (I had a great home life, so it wasn't that I was happy to get away!) Somehow my parents managed to prepare me to leave home and start fending for myself better than some of the other freshmen's parents.
