Exploring the balance between autonomy and structure in parenting children

Parenting involves finding the balance between offering autonomy to children to pursue their desires and providing structure to help them achieve their goals. This balance can manifest in decisions like letting children manage their own time or implementing some structure without giving direct instructions. Parents need to assess their children's capabilities to determine the level of autonomy or structure needed. Encouragement and guidance are crucial to help children develop skills like time management and decision-making. Overstructuring a child's time might hinder their ability to learn how to prioritize and plan their tasks independently, which are essential skills for adulthood.
