Many parents are of the opinion that childhood is not forever, so children should remain children.
But some independence will never hurt a child. It is no secret that independence allows one to achieve greater success in adult life.
Parents were told how to raise an independent child without causing harm.
Personal example
First of all, you need to be patient, because the future independent boy or girl will have many questions, and they will still get answers to them with the help of adults.
But you don't need to do anything for children. You need to explain and help them move towards the goal step by step.
The more questions a child asks at this stage, the sooner he will begin to solve emerging problems independently.
Decision making
But independence is not only about cleaning your room and doing your homework.
It is important not to interfere with the child learning to make decisions. Parents only need to offer options to choose from.
But it is necessary to take into account the child’s age and the specific situation.
Burden of Responsibility
The next point is responsibility. Adults know that any action entails certain consequences.
It is necessary to be able to convey this information to children. The most striking example is pets, with which you can not only play, but also have to feed, walk, and clean up after them.
Learn to cope with failures
There is no need to teach a child to do everything without mistakes. It will be right if parents explain that mistakes are unavoidable, but they can be learned from.
It is also important to give children the opportunity to correct or do something that didn’t work the first time.
Adequate goals
It is important that parents do not expect too much from their child at once. Let him choose his own goal and think about how to achieve it.
Parents only need to monitor and, if necessary, give practical advice.
