Should children be taught to be independent?
-
Yes, I think we need to teach them how to be independent as early as possible. You can’t always be there for them but at least you have already taught them
-
Yes we need to let them learn to be responsible at an early age. Nowadays, it is a challenge for us parents since we live in an era where comfort is everywhere due to technology. A total shift of yesterday’s era.
As for me, I let my kid do some housechores and we have a daily home arrangement. He washes the dishes at night, he folds our clothes after it is dried from laundry, I let him help me do the grocery list, I let him do a few basic cooking. And chores will add up as he grows.
In this way he will know the importance of being part of a family and will nurture him to be a good man of house in the future. -

Well said. Independence is something they have to learn while they are young..

Yes! Chores, looking after younger siblings, settling their own homework and schedule.

It is a good thing for children to learn to be independent. Parents need encouragement and support in the process of growing up. I have 2 children, one is 5 years old, and the other is 8 years old. I have begun to cultivate their sense of independence and let them live in a room separately. According to the layout of our adult’s room, I bought some kids furniture and let them clean by themselves. I will Give a certain amount of money as a reward, and they can realize that they can get paid for their own labor, which is a good start.

I think so also. I'm thinking whether we parents can use technology to get them to be more independent. My boy doesn't like school and don't do his homework by himself. Anyone got tips?
