Supervision must be balanced with freedom. 2. Resistance: Some children may be reluctant to take on new responsibilities. 3. Parental Anxiety: Parents might feel anxious about letting go and allowing their children to make mistakes. 4. Consistency: Maintaining consistent expectations and routines can be difficult, especially in busy households.
