Balancing Independence and Safety in Parenting
November 27, 2024 - 06:01
Psychologist David Friedlander of the Child Mind Institute discusses how parents can navigate the delicate balance between fostering children's independence and addressing safety concerns. He emphasizes the importance of allowing children to explore and make decisions while also ensuring they are protected from potential dangers. Friedlander suggests that parents should gradually introduce opportunities for independence, allowing children to learn from their experiences in a controlled environment. This approach not only helps build confidence but also teaches essential life skills. Ultimately, the goal is to empower children to become self-sufficient while maintaining a supportive and safe parenting framework.
