How to teach the child to be independent: “We have no time�
If you want your child to turn into an independent person, you should start thinking about it literally from very young age.
It is easier for us to spoon-feed the kid that then to clean and wash a floor and a ceiling; we quite often would like to solve arithmetic exercises to have a rest at last. All parents do this way sometimes. But if such style of care becomes habitual, in a result you should accompany the 25-years old child to his love dates.
The baby is born as an entirely and completely dependent creature, then he or she needs some dozens years to become autonomous. Wise parents help him or her to find independence. It is difficult: all parents wish protect the child from severe realities. But there is a simple law of independent person’s upbringing: you must not do instead of your child those things, which he can do without your help. Yes, the child will have some troubles, but he can learn to deal with stress only from his own experience. Otherwise parents will have the child, who avoids risk at any cost and doesn’t believe his own forces. Such child will suffer already in the primary school age, when problems are inevitable and parents can’t be alongside all the time.
Therefore, for the sake of the child’s future, do not do superfluous. Such approach will undoubtedly increase timetable. However, there are no successful “express trains-methods” in a dialogue with children.
