7. Independence
You are the only person they can learn from. Be the best example for them to follow and copy. Help is needed at first. However, later on your children should be allowed to complete the task themselves. Motivate them and explain how important it is for them to be independent and rely on themselves when there is no family member, relatives or friends around. Start with housework. First, they can try and cook something for breakfast without your help. Then they will be able to move on and test their gardening skills. Tell them that if they know how to accomplish simple things, they will not need to hire other people to help them in the future.

8. How to play
Please do not underestimate the role of games in your daughter’s life. Play teaches great social skills. It develops imagination and creativity. The child learns to solve her own problems, deal with the environment and understand the world. This does not include computer or video games, of course!
