The very first role models are parents. They also instill in the heads of children an understanding of what is good and what is bad. Subsequently, a complete repetition of the habits of the parents and the actions that they do in the presence of their children is obtained.
Formation of physical aspects manifested in everyday life
The period of the first development of the child's independence begins at the age of three to four years. At this time, the child begins to notice the personality in himself and rejects the help of his parents. Most often you will have to come across phrases such as: "I myself", "mine" and so on. During this period, it is worth starting to teach him to the pot and to clean up after himself, or to do a little work, such as: make him collect all his toys or start washing his hands before eating, teach him how to tie his shoelaces, and help in everyday life.
And this is where the biggest problems appear, in front of which you need to be patient. After all, sometimes children overdo it with independence and start doing too much, thinking that they are doing everything right and they will be praised for it. As practice shows, everything happens the other way around. Parents do not need to interrupt the child's enthusiasm, it is better to give him “freedom of action”, because a sharp retraining can affect the behavior and emotional state of the child, which will discourage any interest in following the instructions of adults.
One of the frequent complaints of parents is the difficulty of getting their children to sit down to their homework, or when this very task is delayed for a long period of time. It's a matter of mismanagement of time and distractions. Such as: TV on, music, off-topic conversation.
It is very important for the child to focus and not be distracted. If you put him on the workplace, remove all distractions and leave in his field of vision only textbooks or work material with which he has to work. Remind him that if problems arise, he will call you for help.
Developing personal independence
An important component in the formation of a child's personality. At this stage of his small life, he will make his decisions and understand what consequences this can cause. At this stage of the child's development, it is important not to limit his choice and as a result, if he turns out to be wrong, he will learn from his mistakes.
If the child does not understand what to choose, then you can put him in a frame, for example: are we going to the zoo or to the cinema? The child can be put in a box, but you do not need to give him only one choice, because this can be reflected in the future. If he offered you a crazy idea, then explain that this cannot be so and offer something "down to earth".
Developing the quality of independence in a child is not a matter of one day, and it requires a lot of patience from both you and the child, and you have only one chance for that. Don't miss it!
