How to make your kid self dependent?

My son has become 15 years old and still like a baby needs guidance on every personal issues of him related to his friends or anything about society. I do like to share his thoughts and guiding him but is concerned for his this habit in long run. I want him to be able enough to decide on how to treat his friends and should be able to take major decisions of his life like which career he want to opt or which girl he wants to date. I am happy to help him, but should I continue with always guiding him. I need your tips on how to make your baby self dependent in an effective way?

A child needs time to become selfdependent. You should allow him to go and know about the environment andrelationship with other people. Do not let him go off entirely on his own. Do not loose connection with him only allow him to take the decision of his lifefrom himself.

It is good to encourage him to do the things without any help butalways keep your eyes on him to watch him every time because this is the stagewhen he can choose the wrong way or the wrong people as friends.

Communicate withhim so that he will never become nervous while taking any decision. You canwork like a battery charger when your baby wants you at the time of someemotional situation, but let him do his work with himself.

Well I want to saythat it is not your job to make him self dependent because he will naturallybecome self dependent with the course of time.
