I Can Do It!: 10 Tales for Developing Independence

As children grow, they become more independent: they gain more rights and responsibilities. However, sometimes a child gets used to the established order and doesn't want to show initiative or learn a new skill: the child refuses to keep their... room clean, doesn't want to follow hygiene rules, or learn to take care of themselves.
However, the ability to be independent develops gradually. How can parents help their child master this skill in a fun and stress-free way? Of course, with the help of fairy tales!
Psychologist Maria Groshkova has created stories about a squirrel named Mia, who step by step learns to tidy up her toys, brush her teeth and wash her face independently, fold her clothes, cook simple dishes, and much more. It is important to remember that initially, all children are full of enthusiasm and curiosity; they eagerly explore the world around them and adopt new behavior patterns. The main thing is for parents to support them, acknowledge their achievements, and understand their mistakes and failures.
Read the tales together with your child and discuss them. At the end of the book, there are recommendations for parents.
