A survey of 2,000 mums and dads has revealed when parents think their children should be allowed certain privileges - and also when they should be reaching particular milestones.
The survey, which was commissioned by My Nametags, spoke to parents which children between the ages of two and 18, and asked them when they thought their children should be able to ride a bike or tie their shoelaces.
Interestingly, 70% of the parents thought that some privileges are granted too soon nowadays.
Here is the list of things children should be able to do by that age.
