Letting Kids Grow Up
Filed Under Main Content | Leave a Comment
One of the biggest challenges I face is being an over-protective mom. I have tried to shelter my son (I didn’t hardly take him out of the house for the first 6 month of his life.) I have been called a little irrational by some, but when it’s your child’s welfare, how much is too much?
Remember that the more the children do for themselves and the more independent they are, the better for them in the long run. Let them take care of the little things, such as putting on their shoes, for themselves. Also allowing them to make small decisions really helps them develop a sense of their own identity.
