At 5, you can encourage independence by allowing them to choose their clothes, help with simple chores, or make snack choices.

That sounds great! How can I ensure they feel confident in making those choices?

You can boost their confidence by praising their decisions, providing guidance when needed, and allowing them to learn from mistakes.

Thanks! Are there any activities that specifically promote independence?

Yes! Activities like gardening, cooking simple meals, or even playing games that require decision-making can foster independence.
