Confidence doesn’t come from being helped. It comes from being capable. Let them struggle. Let them contribute.

Kids who work and teens who drive. Once my oldest started driving at 16, I saw so much growth, independence, and confidence.

Work doesn’t always mean a literal job. It can mean working around the house. Chores, lawn care, gardening, diy projects, cleaning, decorating, building…

Not always. Started work since 12 years old. You learn to be strong and understand what hard work is. But you also miss a lot of things you didn’t do us a children. It is good but not good. All kids should be able to enjoy their childhood as children.

My son is 3.5 and can crack eggs, put the washing on and mainly unstack the dishwasher. But we do it together and it’s fun for us. But he is SO proud of himself when he does a ‘big job’ on his own. So cute 🥰
