3 A huge Amount of success in life comes from learning. It's good to help kids understand that when they do certain things habitually, they're reinforcing patterns. HOW INDEPENDENT CAN I BECOME? Make your child more independent by teaching him or her various areas like:- self dressing Buttoning and unbuttoning the shirt. Laying the table. Folding handkerchief and clothes. Arranging their toy shelf. Learning to wear shoes and socks. Learning how to zip their school bag and their uniform.(shorts) Learning to eat lunch independently. Learn to be toilet trained. Learning how to handle tiffin and water bottle independently. Practice five magical words until these become a habit. SORRY PLEASE THANK YOU EXCUSE ME WELCOME
