@kelsey.dun: One of the biggest things teaching kindergarten taught me is that kids are capable of so much more than we sometimes give them credit for. As a mom, I have to remind myself of this too. I don't need to jump in the second something gets difficult. I can be there, encourage her, and give her room to try. Independence doesn't mean doing everything alone. It means knowing you're capable, with someone there to support you when you need it. #ParentingTips #RaisingIndependentKids #KindergartenTeacher #IntentionalParenting #ChildDevelopment
