What are some ways to get my children to be more independent?
assistant
1. Encourage your children to try new things and take initiative.
2. Give them age-appropriate responsibilities, such as helping with household chores or taking care of pets.
3. Let them make their own decisions about what they want to do and how they want to spend their time.
4. Remind them that they can always come to you for help if they need it.
5. Praise them when they show independence and problem-solve together to find solutions to problems.
