[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have them do it because you don't want to, you have them do it because it's your job to raise them to be confident, capable and independent and that begins when they are very young and you don't do things for them that they can do themselves. It might make some people feel good to do things for others such as this but with kids it's important to let them feel good instead which is what happens when people start realizing their own potential.[/quote] If you want kids to have confidence, you have to let them learn competence. Being able to manage basic tasks teaches them that they CAN manage these things, that they are not just someone for whom things are done, but someone who can do things. [/quote]
