“Parenting is recognizing that kids are going to be who they are. We have got to give them space and time to figure that out on their own.”
“Independence is so crucial to children and so natural. It's like a vitamin.”
“With parents being away, kids are called upon to do new things and recognize just how competent they can be.”
“The more control you think you have doesn’t actually make you more calm.”
“Give your kids chances to help you and to show you how capable, competent, and kind they are.”
“There's too much pressure on parents to know everything and to shape our children when we can’t.”
- Lenore Skenazy
“The child looks for his independence first, not because he does not desire to be dependent on the adult. But because he has in himself some fire, some urge, to do certain things and not other things.” - Dr. Maria Montessori
