How to make a child more independent
To start, understand the benefits of becoming more independent and organised. When a child begins to develop independence, they may start to feel more:
Resilient
Empowered
Confident
In Control
Trusted
A dyslexic child may struggle to be organised, due to memory and brain planning issues. Letting them take on more responsibility, allowing them to fail can help the child. Research has shown children that lack a feeling of self-control, may become more anxious and depressed.
