Empower Kids to Self-Manage
A study in Guadalajara highlights the impact of parental management styles on children's ability to self-manage their time. Children exposed to a more flexible environment, where they take initiative, start their homework independently, and manage their tasks, develop crucial skills over time. Rigid time management by parents serves as a disservice, preventing children from learning how to prioritize and self-direct, much like the way adults manage their responsibilities at work. It is essential for parents to guide children by asking questions about their tasks and encouraging them to think critically about their choices. Implementing a questioning approach fosters independence and enhances children's decision-making skills, benefiting their overall development.
