I can do it! 10 tales for developing independence

As children grow up, they become more independent: they receive more rights and responsibilities. However, sometimes it happens that a little one gets used to an established routine and does not want to show initiative or master a new skill: the child refuses to keep their room clean, does not 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 tales! Psychologist Maria Groshkova has created stories about the squirrel Mia, who learns step by step to tidy up her toys, clean her teeth, wash herself, put away things, prepare simple dishes, and much more. It is important to remember that initially all children are full of enthusiasm and curiosity; they willingly explore the world around them and adopt new behaviors. It is crucial for parents to support, acknowledge achievements, and understand mistakes and missteps. Read the tales together with your little one and discuss them. At the end of the book, there are recommendations for parents.
