00:00 I'm a very hands-on mom and I want to be part of every activity my kid has.
00:04 Will it make him too dependent on me in the long run?
00:07 We all want to be involved parents but nobody wants to be a helicopter parent, right?
00:13 As a very involved mom myself, I enjoy being with my children when they do different activities.
00:18 However, I learned that parents who like to chaperone their kids need to be mindful of
00:23 when to step back and when to intervene because we don't want our kids to be too dependent
00:29 on us.
00:30 What can we do to foster independence?
00:32 Number one, allow your child to make decisions and take care of some of their needs.
00:37 Number two, give your child tasks or responsibilities at home that can help them feel like a big
00:43 kid.
00:44 Number three, when you go out, have a few simple rules to help your child learn limits
00:49 but also feel some sense of freedom.
00:51 Number four, when your child messes up in social activities, teach them how to handle
00:56 it.
00:57 Always try to save your child.
00:59 Sometimes they will surprise you.
01:01 Number five, give positive reinforcement when you notice your child independently handling
01:06 a situation well.
01:07 But give the feedback when you are alone.
01:10 For example, I noticed when the other kids were teasing Mika, you told them to stop.
01:14 You're such a good ate to your friend.
01:17 Remember, if we want to raise independent children, we need to give them the tools first
01:22 and the space next.
