How can I foster independence in my toddler?

To foster independence:

1. Encourage Choice-Making: Allow your toddler to make simple choices, such as picking their outfit or snack.
2. Provide Opportunities for Exploration: Create a safe environment for them to explore and try new things.
3. Allow Age-Appropriate Tasks: Assign simple tasks they can complete independently, such as putting away toys or helping with dressing.
4. Praise Efforts: Acknowledge their attempts at independence, encouraging them to keep trying.
