A parent provides support and opportunities for a child. The child builds their own social life. This approach helps the child become independent.

The rule

A parent provides support and opportunities for a child.

The child builds their own social life. This approach helps the child become independent.

A parent's role is to offer scaffolding. Scaffolding means providing support, not doing the work for the child. The parent gives tools and chances to learn. The child uses these tools to build their own social skills. This helps the child learn to be independent. It stops the parent from doing too much for the child.

A parent tells a student, 'My job is to help you get the tools you need. This could be practicing what to say or driving you to a friend's house. Your job is to use these tools to make friends.' The student then learns to manage their own friendships.
