[quote=Anonymous]Not much you can do aside from encouraging him, making a game of it, and making a big deal about it when he does something independently! Would a sticker chart work for you, or do you think the parents would undermine/have a problem with it? Ultimately his parents are setting him up for failure and an inability to deal with that failure which is sad. A lot of parenting decisions are made off emotion or what is easiest in that moment- not with the long term perspective and child development in mind. Independence and resiliency are so important and a parent doing everything for the child and rushing in to save the day eliminates opportunities for both of these. Sad. [/quote]
