Strong, successful and happy adults grow up from children who are not prevented from making their own path in life.
It seems that there is nothing difficult in stopping doing for a child what he can already do, and thereby giving him the opportunity to independently realize himself and satisfy emerging needs.
However, parents are often hindered by certain factors, which we will discuss in detail in this article.
Fear for the child
Every parent experiences many fears associated with children, no matter whether they are babies or teenagers. That is why moms and dads say: "Don't take this, don't go there - and in general, it would be better if we did it ourselves." As a result, the child first doesn't learn anything, and then refuses to do it at all.
It is normal to be afraid for your child. To let your child go on their own and reduce your anxiety, you must create a safe environment for them. Even a toddler can be left in a room with electrical outlets, if you first install plugs on them.
Perfectionism
Parents must be prepared to accept their child's mistakes. Independence develops through learning, and mistakes along the way are inevitable.
Don't criticize your child for every wrong move he makes. Instead, think about the experience he (and you, too) has gained.
The need for a dependent child
Surprisingly, many parents need a helpless child, no matter how old he or she is. Every time the child turns to them for help, they feel their own importance. This scenario is especially common when the adult has not achieved recognition in other areas.
Instead of asserting yourself at the expense of your child, improve your own work skills or take up a hobby.
