Balance Between Independence And Interdependence

294 Words2 Pages

How much I would help a struggling child really depends on what age group the child belongs to. I would help a toddler to a greater extent than a school going child of 5 years or up. It also depends on what the task is. If the task is as simple as feeding one self, or changing clothes, I would not help at all and let the child take his time and find how own way. If the task is complicated such as lifting a heavy object or reaching something that is at great height, I would definitely help by making the task easier.

As a mother of two children, I believe I value independence and interdependence equally. In my opinion there are some areas where interdependence is my priority and some where I prefer letting the child develop independence. Both of my children have never been to daycare. However, I made sure they learn self-help skills such as feeding, toilet training, changing clothes, cleaning their rooms, making their beds and getting ready for school at the appropriate ages. When it comes to academics I let my children figure out the solutions to the problems themselves, and provide guidance if and when required. I believe every child should be given the opportunity to explore his choices and make decisions, even if it is wrong, because one learns from his mistakes.

    When supporting children individually, you can ensure you give tailored support specific for that child’s needs instead of having to consider the needs of others. It is an ideal situation to be in but sadly it is often an unrealistic one. Therefore it is important to plan and prepare for such events to ensure you can get the most out of the session. Before you aim to support a child in this way, you must first get to know the child, their likes/dislikes, any special requirements/IEP’s/SEN’s etc. A brief conversation with their parent or carer or, if that is not possible, their class teacher, can provide you with the right information if the right questions are asked.

    Independence is when someone becoming an adult, where they can handle issues by themselves. This person is able to have their own ideas and opinions when they are making decisions. Many people have misunderstood the idea of being independent, they believe that living apart from their parents means they are independent. In the essay, “Invisible Labors: Caring for the Independent Person” by Lynn May Rivas, she states “Independence, after all, is not simply a passive status: it is something people ‘do’”(76). Being independent is not passive, where someone accepts what happens without any response, it should be a time where the person understands their responsibility and they are not influenced by others.

    According to Piaget, children between the ages of 5 and 10 see the world through a Heteronomous Morality. In other words, children think that authority figures such as parents and teachers have rules that young people must follow absolutely. Rules are thought of as real, unchangeable guidelines rather than evolving, negotiable, or situational (Oswalt). Other than that, telling a child what is wrong is not enough, as it will not prevent wrong from happening again. A child needs an explanation for the mistakes that they make and must be given a reason why they should not do it again.
