Raise your hand if you want your kids to be INDEPENDENT? 🙋‍♀️

Who's tired of doing ALL. THE. THINGS. and sounding like a broken record? 🙌

👀 Sam, did you do your chores? 

🗣 Susie, is your schoolwork finished?

...and on and on and ON! 

Having independent kids is not a myth, I promise. It is absolutely possible with the right tools.

The Ultimate Independent Kid’s Binder has all the tools your child needs to make this dream a reality!

From the beginning of parenthood we do everything for our kids. We feed them, bathe them, clothe them, we have to teach them to to do everything. They are completely helpless and dependent upon us.

As our kids grow they are developing and learning skill after skill to be more self-sufficient and become independent. Most of the time, we as moms (raising my hand) struggle to let go and let them grow. I am definitely guilty of helping my kids in the bathroom, cutting their food into tiny bites and much much more – waaaay too long! Anyone else? 

Letting our kids become independent is not only for our convenience, when we encourage our kids to do something on their own they gain self confidence. 

When we encourage them – they start to believe in themselves and realize they can do it.

4 Reasons We Might Not Be Encouraging Independence in our Kids

1. We can do it faster.
2. They might fail.
3. They might make a mess.
4. They might feel like we don't love them if we stop doing it.

Charlotte Mason said it like this "The mother who takes pains to endow her children with good habits secures for herself smooth and easy days."

It's worth it to train your kids to be independent. Start now! It's never too late.

The work we put in today will secure us an easier tomorrow.

Just like with discipline, we also need to train our kids in basic life skills. They need to know how to cook, clean, take care of finances, exercise, eat healthy etc.

We have to push aside the tendency (even if well-intentioned)  to be controlling, rushed and truly allow our kids to become independent people.  

So where to start?

Years ago I remember there was a blog called Lazy Mom, I don't think it's still around though.

I know what your thinking, cause that was my first thought too. But, unlike the name suggests, the mom of this blog was absolutely everything but lazy, her point and focus was to STOP doing everything for your kids. 

Your child gets something out - you don't put it away, they do.

Your child spills something - you don't clean it up, they do. 

Are you following me? If we stop doing everything for our kids (become a lazy mom) they will become responsible, independent, self-sufficient and respectful kids. 

What would happen if we just quit doing our kids' dishes, laundry or cleaning their room? Well at first it would probably be a mess, but then after a bit of training they would begin to do things for themselves.

I have a friend, that has trained her kids (little kids) to wash their own dish after every single meal. They are responsible for every dish they dirty. It's simply become a natural routine for her kids to get up from the table and wash, dry and put away their own dishes.

AH-MAZING!

Habit training, little by little can truly change the whole atmosphere of our homes.

Yes, we are the moms and the responsibility of keeping the home falls directly on us, but we are the CEO of our home.

We can either stress out and try to do it all ourselves cleaning up after 4-15 people everyday or we can lead and train our team to do their part while building character and teaching them important life skills as we go.

My hope is that my new printable The Ultimate Independent Kid's Binder will help.

It's basically a planner for kids with a whole lotta extra pages!
