Fostering independence is essential in preparing your child to be a successful adult. If we want our children to be capable and responsible in college and a career, we need to prepare them now. Children can be responsible for small tasks much earlier than most people believe. As we discussed in previous chapters, small children can pick up their own toys. Labeling shelves with words and pictures is an excellent way for children to begin learning organization. Asking children to put their toys and books away on the correct shelf can begin even before your child can read. Use pictures to assist with the process.
