Why you should not help your children in everything

If a child feels that it is only important if he gets good grades or that his parents only praise him if he does things right and if he does things wrong they only scold him, then it is very difficult for you to feel confident in your own abilities.

Children are intelligent and know when they really do things well or not, but their parents and those close to them must take into account their abilities so as not to demand more of them than they can give.

Children need the help of their parents to find their way and do things well, but without doing everything for them.  If you help them too much without giving them the autonomy they need to do things for themselves, children may not feel capable of doing things for themselves. Their self-esteem can be seen to suffer.

If you continually help your children and do not give them the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from mistakes, it will be when you are inadvertently undermining their own abilities. If a parent continually surpasses the child's ideas and works for a project, then that child will learn that their work is unsatisfactory and therefore your confidence escapes from your heart.

You must encourage your children in their own abilities and capacities

This means that parents should allow their child to do projects on their own so that the child can get the grade for himself, so that he has confidence in his abilities. Whether after the qualification is not what was expected. But when they do things for themselves, it is empowering. Even if the grade is not what a parent may want, it is more important that the children are confident and able to do the homework on their own.

Parents cannot hold their child's hand into adulthood and help with projects they will undertake at work, so parents should allow them to experience things without help and allow independence in completing a job will help them to be safe and secure. competent at the same time.
