Little ones rarely understand the concept of doing things on time and taking responsibility for their actions. Sometimes, the school bus might be waiting, and the child is happily sleeping despite you trying to wake him up a few times. But if this becomes a regular occurrence then it is important to guide them in the right direction to enable them to discover their independence. This will not only help them be disciplined but prepare them to handle the demands of adulthood. We should encourage the child to be independent so that s/he can recognise her or his mistakes and reach out for support in cases they are not able to address by themself. The happiness and satisfaction you get when you see your children accomplish a task by themselves is fantastic.
As a long-term parenting goal to guide your children to embrace independence while enjoying the bliss of childhood, here are a few tips to help you.
Creating A Structure And Encouraging Discipline
It is easier for children to make decisions if they think sequentially. A structured routine for what needs to be done during the day at a particular time can help the child make decisions in a controlled environment. When children have a set of goals that need to be completed, then the decision of how and when to achieve them can lead them to devise a routine and discipline to their day.Allowing Them To Make Their Own Decisions

Taking A Step Back

Giving Responsibility To Develop Responsibility

Applauding The Effort

These habits if adopted from an early age can sow the seeds of independence and confidence, helping them grow into proactive and responsible adults.
