What 5 rules will help teach children independence: recommendations from psychologists
24.05.2023 21:29
Some children can safely be called responsible and independent, since they cope with a number of important tasks on their own.
Some parents really admire these kids.
However, with the right approach, the necessary qualities can be successfully instilled in your child.
What 5 rules will help with this?
Trust
Not all adults, despite their love for children, can declare complete trust. But this is a necessary condition for the correct development of independence.
Try to trust your children. If you raised them correctly, they will not abuse it and use it for selfish purposes.
Don't double check
Sometimes adults give their children a list of chores to do around the house, but they can't delegate them all. So mom and dad constantly double-check the child, making him nervous and insecure.
Experts recommend leaving children alone: let them cope with the tasks themselves. If the child has questions, he will ask for advice himself.
Positive reinforcement of initiative
If a child offers to help or decides to take part in an activity that requires independence skills, then this should be encouraged.
Appreciate the moments when children themselves demonstrate their desire to develop.
Schedule of the day
Not all people have a clear schedule of work and weekends. As a result, time is often spent inefficiently.
But living according to a schedule helps you grow up to be a collected, independent and organized person.
Financial issue
A child feels most independent when he or she is entrusted with an important financial matter. Do not interfere or advise children on how to manage their pocket money.
Over time, the child will become financially savvy and independent.
