Giving a child responsibility is good for her self-esteem
Give young kids a chance to find their own solutions. When you lovingly acknowledge a child's minor frustrations without immediately rushing in to save her, you teach her self-reliance and resilience.
Kids can't absorb too many rules without turning off completely. Forget arguing about little stuff like fashion choices and occasional potty language. Focus on the things that really matter - that means no hitting, rude talk, or lying.
. Let them choose the activity, and don't worry about rules. Just go with the flow and have fun. That's the name of the game.
