Surely, in your life you have come across adults who are unable to make any decisions or cope with their problems.
Most likely, these are beloved children, from whom their parents literally blew dust and took on all the responsibilities.
Therefore, it is worth understanding what consequences such parental love can lead to.
How to help children grow up independent
A child should have personal responsibilities from an early age.
And it's not just about children having to tidy up their own room, put away their toys, or collect their laundry: these are things that go without saying.
But every child should have responsibilities that make him an important member of the family. For example, it could be taking out the trash, washing dishes, cleaning.
You shouldn't interfere in every conflict.
Experts note that parents instinctively want to intervene in literally every conflict to help their children.
But you are not doing them the best service. In 90% of cases, the child will be able to cope with their difficulties themselves. You just need to observe the situation, keep it under personal control in case of unforeseen circumstances, but not interfere.
Help with advice, but not with action
Any child will not be happy that you "force" him to be independent. Therefore, children will look for different ways to solve the problem.
For example, a child may try to influence you through blackmail.
Set aside money for personal expenses
This is a great way to not only make your child more independent, but also to influence the development of financial literacy.
However, it is worth understanding that the amount should be limited. It is not worth "adding money out of pity".
