50 ways to teach your child independence

Your child will remain forever for you "baby", but self-reliance is an important step in its development.

Here are some tips on how your kid can help you every day.

Why autonomy is important from an early age:

From the point of view of psychology, self-reliance leads to confidence and shows the child that you trust him.

From the point of view of behavior, allowing the child every day to do something for myself and be an active participant in his own daily life, later will reduce the inevitable bouts of stubbornness. He will fight for independence is a normal development stage, but many experts agree that the ability to feel their independence and autonomy decreases the probability of crisis behavior.





 

From the point of view of the development of speech communication quality when the child is involved in the business,you can talk about a thousand things. Don't forget to ask questions and to give the child to answer — words, expression and gestures.

From the point of view of motor skills, a variety of independent actions give the child a new experience that will help to develop coordination, to better recognize their feelings and learn different useful things — how much force is needed to open the container (the ability to push and pull), the feeling of soft wet sponge in your hands when you wipe down the table (tactile), balance, leaning to the shoes (the vestibular apparatus).

 

From a practical point of view, you take the child idelete daily tasks a little more fun. Need to make Breakfast, and the baby underfoot? Put him on a chair and let him help you smash and beat the eggs. Time you do not save, but the mind can, and will.

5 ways to support the child's independence:

1.I'll start, you finish
A simple way to give your child the opportunity to help — if you start to do something, and he brings to completion. For example: start to peel the banana, and let the child removes the petals peel; pull his arms out of the sleeves, and pulls the shirt he; unlace the shoes and off with the heels and takes it himself.

2.You start, I finish
It's a great approach when it comes to washing and other procedures that need to be done carefully. For example: let's try a little bit to brush your teeth or wipe the table after meals.

3.Come together
This method is suitable in cases of complex tasks that require assistance or care about security. Example: you break an egg for Breakfast in a bowl, cut soft vegetables children with a knife, wash the dishes, rinse the head in the bathroom.

4.I'll show you and you try
This way, when you need just the basic skills. For example: to put the dirty clothes in the hamper or the washer, remove the cap, to carry a very light bag with products that can't be destroyed.

5. You pick
Just give the child to choose is a great way to inspire him to early independence. For example: let them choose between two shirts, two sandwiches or two toys — look, say, take or show what he wants.
