"I wanna do it by myself!!" When a child says this, it's a great chance for them to learn to be independent!![YOU are the best MOM] vol.14

Children's "I want to do it myself!" Is a great opportunity to learn independence!

When a child is about two or three years old, his hands become dexterous (good with hands) and his athletic ability also accompanies him, so the desire to "want to do it himself!" Increases and he begins to insist on it. It's a great proof of growth, but every time I'm told "I'll do it myself!", Busy moms don't like taking time and ignore their children's claims and do it themselves. I think there are many things.However, when the child says "I'll do it myself!", It's a great opportunity for the child to learn to be independent.

"I want to do it myself!" Is the foundation for developing an independence.

Even though my hands have become dexterous, I think that there are many things that I can't do well because I'm still clumsy compared to adults. It is easier for adults to help with changing clothes, eating, taking off shoes, putting on shoes, etc. because it is faster and does not stain the surroundings, but it is important for children to feel like "do it yourself!" Let's challenge. "Do it yourself!" Is an expression of independence. The excitement and experience of "I was able to do it!"In everyday life is the foundation for fostering children's independence. However, if you try to do something dangerous or do something dangerous by yourself, you should stop it immediately. And be sure to explain why you shouldn't do it.It is also during this time that I want to help. It will take some time, but let's give your child a lot of help.

As a result, it also leads to a reduction in care time.

As I say many times, it is very important for the child to think "I want to do it myself!". Try to respect that feeling as much as possible. And now, even if it takes time, letting the child experience various things will eventually lead to a reduction in the time it takes to take care of the child when he / she grows up a little.
