The Self-Driven Child

"The Self-Driven Child" emphasizes that giving children autonomy, trust, and respect helps them develop internal motivation and emotional resilience. Instead of relying on external rewards or punishments, parents and caregivers should guide children to understand their feelings, set meaningful goals, and make responsible choices. Supporting children’s independence fosters confidence, decision-making skills, and healthier behavior. The approach recognizes that children are naturally motivated when they feel loved, understood, and trusted to learn from their experiences, ultimately helping them grow into self-reliant and emotionally balanced adults.
