Encouraging Independence

One of the key skills for life that we want to empower our children with in the early years is independence, both in relation to their actions and their thinking.

To become independent, children have to be confident in their own abilities otherwise they will remain over-reliant on the support of other adults.

Their confidence grows through opportunities to try new things in a safe and supportive environment with lots of positive reinforcement for their success and strategies to support any failures they may have along the way.
