Embracing Children's Independence

Don’t create independent children… Because they’ll just become independent. 👏🏻🥳😃 Next thing you know, they’ll want to … 💙Think for themselves and 💙Justify their position and 💙Do “dangerous” things and 💙Make their own meals and… You’ll sit back and realize… It’s your fault. 🙂 So when your 15 year old declares that Wednesdays are a rest day because she was in class all day and did work on the weekend… You let her. ❓Who am I to tell her to quit doing all that thinking and planning for herself. Go to the beach on a Wednesday. Because you can. Let her take break and watch. That independent kid might just read for fun or practice piano or play a game or or edit her movie or go on a walk… You wouldn’t want her to waste all that time. 😂 So as long as she keeps rockin’ class, I guess I’ll let her be her own boss… That’s the ultimate goal after all, right? . . @akova.gear hat // @piketrail_gear chair . {Share this with that mom friend who needs to loosen the reigns a bit😉} . . . .
