Leaning To Be Independent

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Teaching your child independence is an important aspect of their overall growth and personality development. Independence on the part of the child with respect to her daily routine, organizing her belongings and knowing how to interact with family members and strangers. Here are some tips on inculcating independence in your little one:

1. Start small! Start by asking your child to do small things, such as put the toys in the basket after she is done playing with it. Show your child how to do the activities that you want them to learn to do independently, progressing to asking them to help you with it and finally ending in letting them do it by themselves.

2. Begin from simple activates, relating with the play time of your child like taking and putting away toys, setting up his play area etc. to slightly more complex tastes like brushing teeth, getting dressed, packing his school bag, etc.

3. Remember to supervise your little one while they are doing any activity and help them with it if need be. Performing any activity once does not mean that she will be able to do it every time therefore being constantly aware of what your child is doing.

4. Be encouraging and empathetic if your child makes mistakes when she is doing any of activates that you want her to perform independently. Keep in mind that positive and loving reinforcement always does better than strict and stern ruling, hence keep in mind to reassure your child that it’s okay and that she can always do better the next time.
