Parents make a mistake when trying every minute to take their small children – is says Danish psychologist Eben Sandal. The desire of parents to constantly invent for kids some entertainment and activities impedes the development of independence among the younger generation, the expert is convinced.
Children often benefit bored because boredom develops in them independence, said Eben Sandal.
“These moments of boredom or inactivity well affect the development of imagination and independent thinking in children”, was the opinion of a psychologist.
Moments of boredom can motivate yourself to explore the world around them and be a purely personal judgment about that. Parents, constantly seeking something to entertain the kids, teach them to always rely on others and depend on others ‘ decisions.
It is especially important to teach children not to constantly depend on parental support from age 2 to 3 years.
“This does not mean that parents should completely refuse participation in a child’s life. Adults need to be able to control the game, but standing back and giving children more opportunities for self-realization”, – said the scientist.
The psychologist noted that independent thinking helps children to better socialize in adult life and does not hesitate to develop their creative skills to implement plans.
