Parenting Tip #2 - Discovering Independence

A child often becomes curious and motivate to explore and try to gradually do some things on his own between two to three years of age. Encourage your child to enjoy discovering new things around him with proper supervision. A child can learn a lot of things through experience. Try not to set a reasonable boundary in terms of self discovery. Although it is encouraging to see a child realize the exciting aspect of discovery, parents should always be on the look out. Child proof your house by removing potential dangers such as putting away medicines and harmful household cleaners, padding sharp furniture edges and covering electrical outlets.
