<human>: How can I help my children be more independent?
<bot>: One way to help your children become more independent is by giving them opportunities to practice self-sufficiency. Encourage them to do things on their own, such as cooking meals and doing laundry. You can also provide them with age-appropriate chores that they can complete independently. Additionally, give them the freedom to explore and learn on their own terms. This will help them develop problem solving skills and a sense of responsibility.
