children's autonomy

Children's autonomy refers to their ability to make choices, express themselves, and act independently within appropriate boundaries. It encompasses their right to explore their interests, engage in decision-making, and develop self-regulation skills. Encouraging autonomy helps children build confidence, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of responsibility. It’s important for caregivers to support autonomy in a safe environment, allowing children to learn from their experiences while providing guidance when needed. This balance fosters healthy development and prepares them for future challenges in life.
