Module 3. FOSTERING SOCIAL, INTELLECTUAL, CREATIVE AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN Learning Outcome 3.1. Foster Children’s Independence And Autonomy Information Sheet 3.1-1 DEVELOP SELF SKILLS AND INDEPENDENCE OF CHILDREN Introduction: Independence is important because,It promotes confidence and self- esteem as well as motivation and perseverance in school. It fosters self-reliance, allowing your child to feel they have control over their life,It teaches them self- motivation as they have the freedom to find their own reasons to achieve. Have you noticed that all babies and young children tend to ̳want to do things by themselves?‘ This tendency is the beginning of independence and, as a parent, it is really important for you to encourage this. Here‘s why. Children from 4 to 6 years old are: Beginning to develop their independence and form real friendships. Learning rules to more difficult games Life skills go hand in hand with development, and can help your child succeed later in life. Discover the most important life skills your child should know and ways to incorporate them into your daily routine. Life Skill Activities to Incorporate into Your Child’s Daily Routine 1. Focus and Self-Control Children thrive on schedules, habits, and routines, which not only create a feeling of security, but also help children learn self-control and focus. Talk with your child about what to expect each day. Organize your home so your child knows where to put shoes, coats, and personal belongings. We live in a noisy, distraction-filled world, so quiet activities like reading a book, enjoying sensory activities, or completing a puzzle together can help your child slow down and increase focus.
2. Perspective-Taking Thinking about another‘s point of view doesn‘t come naturally to most children, but it can be developed. Discuss characters‘ feelings and motivations in the books you read, e.g., ―I wonder why the cat and the pig wouldn‘t help the little red hen.‖ Make observations about how others are feeling, e.g., ―Alex was really sad that he didn‘t get a turn. I wonder what we can do to make him feel better.‖ 3. Communication Children need high-touch personal interactions every day to build healthy social-emotional skills, including the ability to understand and communicate with others. While the pace at which they develop these skills may vary, children need to learn how to ―read‖ social cues and listen carefully. They must consider what they want to communicate and the most effective way to share it. Just talking with an interested adult can help build these skills. Spend time every day listening and responding to your child without distractions. 4. Making Connections True learning, says Galinsky, occurs when we can see connections and patterns between seemingly disparate things. The more connections we make, the more sense and meaning we make of the world. Young children begin to see connections and patterns as they sort basic household items like toys and socks. Simple acts, such as choosing clothing appropriate for the weather, helps them build connections. Point out more abstract connections in life, or in stories you read, e.g., ―This book reminds me of when we picked sea shells at the beach.‖ 5. Critical Thinking We live in a complex world in which adults are required to analyze information and make decisions about myriad things every day. One of the best ways to build critical thinking is through rich, open-ended play. Make sure your child has time each day to play alone or with friends. This play might include taking on roles (pretending to be fire fighters or super heroes), building structures, playing board games, or playing outside physical games, such as tag or hide-and-go-seek. Through play, children formulate hypotheses, take risks, try out their ideas, make mistakes, and find solutions—all essential elements in building critical thinking. 6. Taking on Challenges One of the most important traits we can develop in life is that of resilience—being able to take on challenges, bounce back from failure, and keep trying. Children learn to take on challenges when we create an environment with the right amount of structure—not so much as to be limiting, but enough to make them feel safe. Encourage your child to try new things and allow reasonable risk, such as climbing a tree or riding a bike. Offer a new challenge when she seems ready, e.g., ―I think you‘re ready to learn to tie your shoes. Let‘s give it a try.‖ Focus more on effort than achievement, e.g., ―Learning to tie your shoes was really hard, but you kept trying. Well done.‖ 7. Self-Directed, Engaged Learning A child who loves learning becomes an adult who is rarely bored in life. To encourage a love of learning, try to limit television and encourage plenty of reading, play, and open-ended
exploration. Model curiosity and enthusiasm for learning in your own life by visiting the library together, keeping craft supplies, making games available, and allowing for some messes at home. As children grow, they need to learn to develop independence, important: children need to be supported in a gradual process of developing independence From an early age, children are learning how to be independent. From infancy, humans seem to be on a quest for independence. Babies insist on holding a bottle or picking up food themselves. Toddlers emphatically announce, "Me do it." The preschool years are a time of burgeoning growth as children gain the intellectual, verbal, and social-emotional skills to tackle more tasks on their own. But how do you balance your child's desire for independence with his need for safety and limits? This issue is one that doesn't go away as your child gets older but continues to emerge. Think of sleepovers, extracurricular activities, teen dating, sports, and perhaps the scariest of all — handing over the car keys to your teen driver. The communication and relationship style you develop when your child is a preschooler will continue to inform your parenting for many years to come. Here are a few ideas to navigate the journey to independence with your child. Allow your child to make simple choices from a range of options you are prepared to accept. For example, allow your children to have a say in which clothes they will be wearing each day, even if this is limited to basic colour selection. Let children make mistakes and support them to learn from them.
