Independent Children: How to Relax Control and Teach Your Child to Manage Their Own Life

This book is a competent navigator for a parent who wants to raise their child into an independent, full-fledged individual.
Parental care often prevents a child from not only understanding themselves and showing talent, but also from simply revealing their potential in studies, sports and everyday life. Gradually, from chapter to chapter, step by step, the authors lead us to the idea: even if it seems to you that your child is not capable of making a single correct decision (or even has special needs - ADHD, ASD) - you need to give them a chance. To do this, they offer specific steps-exercises at the end of each chapter that you can use this evening.
What, according to the authors, helps on the path to children's independence? The basis is the absence of stress. It can be caused by coercion, overprotection, various fears, the child's characteristics, etc. The absence of fear is followed by a sense of security, which is given by the love of parents, good sleep, internal motivation, exercise. And, of course, the parent's work on themselves and on their new relationship with the child.
This method has a neuropsychological basis. All of the above really helps the child's brain to function properly and the frontal lobes to form, which are responsible for independent decision-making, organization, and control. The book will be useful for both parents and anyone who works with children, including those with special needs.
