Encourage independence in your baby from "summary" of Beautiful Babies by Kristen Michaelis

Encouraging independence in your baby is a crucial aspect of their development. It involves providing opportunities for your baby to explore and learn on their own, while still providing a safe and supportive environment. When you encourage independence in your baby, you are helping them build confidence in their abilities. By allowing them to try things on their own, such as feeding themselves or trying to walk, you are showing them that you believe in their capabilities. This can help them develop a sense of autonomy and mastery over their environment. It's important to remember that encouraging independence does not mean leaving your baby to fend for themselves. It is about finding a balance between providing support when needed and allowing them to explore and learn independently. One way to encourage independence is to provide your baby with age-appropriate toys and activities that promote exploration and problem-solving. This can help them develop important skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and cognitive abilities. Another way to encourage independence is to allow your baby to make choices whenever possible. For example, you can offer them two toy options and let them choose which one they want to play with. This can help them develop decision-making skills and a sense of agency over their own actions.
  1. Encouraging independence in your baby is about fostering their sense of self-reliance and confidence. By providing opportunities for them to explore, learn, and make choices on their own, you are helping them develop important skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.
