From the first days of life, every child should be under the protection of parents, who in the process of growing up should help him in various situations, as well as protect him from the difficulties of life. But the older the child gets, the more independent he must become.
Many parents make a serious mistake when they continue to take care of a child who has already entered adolescence. If a child does not learn the necessary skills, then having entered an independent life, he will experience a lot of various problems and difficulties.
Excessive parental care is the child's inability to prepare for future adult life. If adults take care of a teenager as well as in infancy, then most often, such people grow up dependent and irresponsible.
In order for a child to be prepared to enter an independent life, he must begin to master the necessary skills from primary school age. There are a number of skills that a child who has reached senior school age must have.
1. Cooking food
This skill is imperatively necessary in order for the child to be able to provide himself with proper nutrition when left alone. It is best to start developing this skill in the elementary grades. You should not force the child to cook complex dishes, but he should be able to cook his own breakfast, or warm up the food prepared by his parents.
2. Waking up in the morning
The child must learn to wake up in the morning on their own, without the help of adults. If this habit is developed from an early age, then in the future the child will not experience various problems associated with being late in the morning.
3. Communication with others
Most often, parents teach young children not to talk to strangers on the street. But with age, when the child reaches adolescence and becomes more independent, he somehow has to talk with the people around him - on the street, in public places, in educational institutions. If parents from an early age instill in a child the danger that threatens him when communicating with strangers, then over time such a child will experience serious problems when forced to communicate with strangers.
That is why adults are obliged to tell the child that all people around are different, and not every passer-by is dangerous for him.
If a child by adolescence possesses the most important skills that will certainly be useful to him in an independent life, then entering the adult world, he will not experience various problems and difficulties. Moreover, parents who have taught their child all the necessary skills will be able to safely let the child out of the parental home.
