One of the most important elements of attachment parenting is autonomy. Here we tell you how to promote it in your children.
As mothers, many women would like to spend more time with their children, live in the fields, give birth at home, or have six months of maternity leave, etc. However, these are choices contingent on your availability, your way of thinking and the information you have and they have nothing to do with the love that a mother feels for her children.
Babies need to be covered in their basic needs and among them is affection, love, attachment. The person in charge of this function varies according to personal, social, and/or economic circumstances. The important thing is that the baby grows cared for and with love, the specialists point out.
Alternative or not to parenting with attachment, the best education is one based on love for children, one that strengthens the bond of affection and security to grow up healthy and strong.
How to achieve parenting with attachment and autonomy?
For children to be able to separate from their parents, they must feel strong enough. This is achieved first by being very close to them, and second by doing things for themselves.
The idea is to safeguard the autonomy of the child, not only in control of his own body but also when eating or playing. Make sure they do things and if they need help.
Let it explore
It is during the game that they learn to explore their abilities and how things work. That is why it is very important to let them investigate at their own pace, without directing them, because the game is their terrain and any imposition or intervention of the type “do it like this and like this, no” transmits the subconscious message of “you do not know” and it robs them the rich satisfaction of learning and testing for themselves. To achieve this, they need an environment prepared for them, where they can move freely and safely, without the adult being on them.
