Encourage Problem Solving: When your child faces challenges or conflicts, resist the urge to solve every problem for them. Instead, guide them through the process of finding solutions, encouraging critical thinking and resilience. Sometimes children have to learn lessons or make mistakes in order to grow. As parents, it can be hard to sit back and watch, however, it is crucial that they learn how to problem-solve the small things so they are prepared for their future.

Empower Decision-Making:
Allow your child to make choices from a young start. Start with simple choices, like choosing their outfit (in dress code), deciding what snacks to have, or picking out a bedtime book, and then start letting them make bigger decisions for themselves. You could even help your child set a goal, then allow them to decide what things they need to do in order to achieve that goal.
