Guide for Parents: Respecting YPs & Supporting Independence

1. Build Trust Through Listening

• Give your child your full attention when they speak.

• Avoid interrupting or dismissing their feelings.

• Use phrases like: “I hear you” or “That sounds important to you.”

2. Set Clear, Fair Boundaries

• Rules should protect safety, not control unnecessarily.

• Explain the “why” behind each rule so they understand its purpose.

• Example: “We set a curfew because we care about your safety.”

3. Offer Choices Within Limits

• Let them choose clothes, hobbies, or weekend activities.

• This fosters confidence and decision-making skills.

• Example: “Would you like to do homework before dinner or after?”

4. Respect Privacy

• Knock before entering their room.

• Avoid reading personal messages or diaries.

• Teach that privacy is mutual and based on trust.

5. Encourage Open Communication

• Create a safe space for questions and opinions.

• Respond calmly, even if you disagree.

• Example: “I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me.”

6. Support Safe Risk-Taking

• Allow them to try new activities under supervision.

• Example: learning to cook, biking in the park, or joining a club.

• Teach safety measures without discouraging exploration.

7. Praise Effort, Not Just Success

• Celebrate progress and persistence.

• Example: “I’m proud of how hard you worked on that project.”

8. Model Respectful Behavior

• Speak politely and avoid belittling language.

• Show empathy and patience in everyday interactions.

✅ Tip for Parents: Independence doesn’t mean absence of guidance. It means creating a safe environment where children can grow confidently.
