What is child independence in general? There are, perhaps, two aspects in which this concept could be considered. Ironically, the development of these two types of self-reliance very often requires a completely different approach.
Instructions
Step 1
First, the independence of the child in the concept of a kindergarten teacher. A child skillfully enough for his age can serve himself - get dressed, wash, eat, clean up toys, make the bed, etc. This will require painstaking work to create and improve the skills of the baby. Day after day, hour after hour, you need to offer to participate in the necessary actions. It is necessary to praise the child in a timely manner, not only for every successful attempt, but also for the diligence shown, even simply for the fact that he does not refuse to participate in household chores.
Step 2
Basically, the toddler is just being taught not to create problems. This is undoubtedly very important for a normal existence within the framework of ordinary living conditions. When educating this kind of independence, the performance of actions according to a specific schedule is appreciated, deviations from the order are welcomed only when they help to do the same, but faster or better. But what happens if a child makes a mistake while trying to do something? Suppose he breaks the vase he was trying to wash, or spoils the pasta when trying to cook it for the first time without assistance? Yes, especially if he was not asked about it? Most often, after such a mistake, the child is discouraged from doing something on his own, and sometimes for a very long time.
Step 3
This is precisely where an important question arises: what kind of independence do adults bring up in a child? Habitual fulfillment of what is ordered, or real independence in decisions and actions? While the child is very small, he constantly strives to show activity, from the point of view of parents, completely meaningless and therefore subject to suppression. But no matter how troublesome and difficult it is, you need to try to find a reason for praise and support in every baby's action. Of course, it is unrealistic to praise for everything. For example, for a spoon thrown on the floor, for outright whims, or, say, for torn wallpaper.
Step 4
But if your baby smeared the floor with cake, find out if he wanted to feed the dog on his own for the first time? Before you rush for the rag, take the time to say how smart he is and that next time you would like to feed the dog together. Pencil scribbles in your book, or your teen's first T-shirt purchase, are both manifestations of the personality of the person you are raising. If you do not allow him to make mistakes, he will not learn how to live.
