LUES FAMILY FOCUS: REPONSIBILITY & INDEPENDENCE
Space and Freedom: It can be hard to relinquish control, but gradually give your child freedom and space to try things on their own and make their own choices. Knowing you are behind them and there if they make a mistake or need support makes the process easier for both children and parents. This might be as simple as letting them walk to the mailbox while you watch from the porch or letting them pay for their own items at the store.
