Allow your baby to problem solve on their own from "summary" of Your Self-Confident Baby by Magda Gerber,Allison Johnson

When we talk about allowing your baby to problem solve on their own, we are referring to giving them the space and time to figure things out for themselves. This means resisting the urge to jump in and solve the problem for them, even if it takes a little longer for them to work through it on their own. By allowing your baby to explore and experiment with their surroundings, they are able to develop important problem-solving skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. It can be tempting to step in and help your baby at the first sign of frustration or difficulty, but it is important to remember that struggling is a natural part of the learning process. By allowing your baby to experience frustration and work through it on their own, you are helping them develop resilience and perseverance. These are valuable traits that will help them navigate challenges and setbacks in the future. When you allow your baby to problem solve on their own, you are also showing them that you trust and believe in their abilities. This can help boost their self-confidence and sense of independence. By stepping back and giving your baby the space to figure things out for themselves, you are sending the message that you have faith in their capabilities and that you are there to support them as they learn and grow. Of course, it is important to strike a balance between giving your baby the freedom to problem solve on their own and providing them with support when needed. If your baby becomes overwhelmed or frustrated, it is okay to step in and offer assistance or guidance. The key is to be attuned to your baby's cues and to provide the right level of support without taking over the problem-solving process. In the end, allowing your baby to problem solve on their own is about fostering their independence, resilience, and self-confidence. It is about giving them the space and freedom to learn and grow in their own time and in their own way. By trusting in your baby's abilities and providing a supportive environment for exploration and discovery, you are laying the foundation for a self-confident and capable child.
