How can I help my child become more independent?

Encouraging independence starts with small tasks. What age is your child, and what specific areas are you concerned about?

My child is 7, and they resist doing things like dressing themselves or cleaning up.

At 7, it's normal for children to seek help. Try making it fun! For example, you could set a timer for cleaning up.

That sounds good! Should I offer rewards for completing tasks?

Rewards can be effective! Consider using a sticker chart to track their progress and celebrate their achievements.

Thanks! I’ll try that. Any tips for encouraging them to dress themselves?

You could lay out their clothes the night before and let them choose what to wear. This gives them a sense of control.
