Raising Self-Sufficient, Independent, Problem-Solving Kids
Episode description
Today I am in the podcast closet alone, talking about something that inspires me.
When my kids were little my husband traveled during the week. I was exhausted and needed my kids to chip in and help make their lunches, lay out their clothes, small things that made a big difference; things that helped me out.
What I found is that by helping my kids learn to be responsible for their own things, contribute around the house and learn some life skills at an early age, it would pay off in the end.
Today we are talking about how to LET GO as parents, trust our kids and guide them to being their own problem solvers. Sometimes it’s more about US letting go of control and letting our kids make some decisions on their own.
Today I share ideas of what we can do to help our kids thrive on their own:
- Age-appropriate tasks
- How to manage their own homework, talking to adults and teachers
- Being responsible for their own person (luches, lay out clothes, water bottles)
