Independence
Encouraging children to be independent promotes their self-confidence and self-esteem. They are many ways you can support independence at home, for example by:
- Involving your child in household chores such as laying the table, putting away some shopping, unloading the washing machine or tidying up.
- Giving opportunities for your child to make their own choices.
- Allow your child to make mistakes when they are trying to be independent.
