By offering age-appropriate choices and encouraging self-reliance, parents can support their child’s journey toward becoming a capable and self-assured individual.
In the preschool years, fostering independence helps children develop confidence, self-reliance, and a sense of responsibility.
At this stage, children can learn to dress themselves, put away toys, and complete simple chores. Encouraging them to make small choices, like selecting their clothes or helping set the table, supports decision-making skills. Positive reinforcement and patience are key as they learn through trial and error.
