TMB Episode 72: Independent and Self-Sufficient
In this podcast, Dr. Berney discusses the difference between being independent and being self-sufficient. As parents, it is important that we use our child’s developmental drive for independence to build competence and self-esteem. Instead of doing everything for our child – “because it is faster” – it is critical that we allow our children to try, fail, and then try again. It is through this cycle that they become truly self-sufficient.
