Parenting School Age Children
How can I support my school-age child’s growing independence?
School-age children are eager to take on more responsibility and make choices. Support this by offering age-appropriate tasks like managing homework or helping with chores. Encourage decision-making by discussing options and outcomes, fostering critical thinking. Praise efforts and problem-solving rather than just results. Maintain open communication to guide and support without micromanaging. This balance nurtures confidence and self-reliance while keeping a loving connection.
