Encouraging independence is essential for several reasons: 1. Confidence Building: When children successfully complete tasks on their own, it boosts their self-esteem. 2. Skill Development: Independent activities enable the development of fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and decision-making. 3. Social Skills: Independent experiences help children learn how to interact with peers and adults, fostering better social competence. 4. Emotional Growth: Independence supports emotional regulation by allowing children to understand and manage emotions in various situations.
