[quote=Anonymous]My kid always wants one of us around and she often asks us to do simple tasks for her. For example, she always wants us to put her shoes on for her. She asks nicely and often we comply because it's just faster to do it for her. Same with getting dressed. She wants us to pick her clothes and she likes for us to stay there while she gets dressed. If we insist on leaving, she gets distracted and it takes forever. She used to constantly want to do things herself, and now she just wants us to do everything for her! How can we break this habit and what are reasonable expectations for a 4.5 year old in terms of independence?[/quote]
