Independent learning starts in the small everyday moments.
Choosing what to wear, pouring a drink, serving food, putting on socks, fastening a zip. These simple tasks give children the chance to practise problem-solving, patience, coordination and confidence.
It can be tempting to step in because it’s quicker, but when we give children time to try, struggle a little and work things out for themselves, we’re building far more than a practical skill. ❤️
