[quote=Anonymous]This is an old thread... There's a difference between neglecting a child so they are forced to be "mature" and allowing them develop independence and maturity in an age appropriate way. We aim for the latter, as everyone should IMO. Our oldest is 4 and he will try to make his own breakfast, get his own water, etc. There's nothing wrong with that. He's not doing it because he won't eat otherwise or because he has no other choice he's doing it because he wants to be able to do those things on his own. If he needs help, he will ask (and if I see him struggling, I'll offer to help and then we'll work together). [/quote]
