Independence for Children

07/04/2007

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
Denis Waitley

As we celebrate Independence Day in the USA, I thought it would be interesting to look at an Exchange article, "Independence or Interdependence?," in which Janet Gonzalez-Mena looks at these different goals in raising children. She concludes....

"Parents expect their children to be both independent and connected, but they work harder on what they believe to be most important. They leave to chance what they are less concerned about — or they work on it hit or miss. Most parents never make a conscious decision about what to focus on because it comes from a deeply imbedded cultural value."

Janet's article is up for viewing in theExchange Ideas for You — FREE! section at www.ChildCareExchange.com.
