The article discusses a parenting strategy by mom Chelsea Jo, who teaches her children to take responsibility for their needs, such as snacks and hydration. While it may seem unorthodox, Chelsea emphasizes her approach during specific scenarios, like running errands. She reassures that her kids are well-fed and hydrated but encourages them to think ahead and learn from minor inconveniences. This technique not only fosters self-sufficiency but also teaches appreciation for parental care, ultimately aiming for children to own their responsibilities as they develop into adulthood.
What this does is it puts a little bit of the responsibility and the ownership on them.
I promise, I'm not letting my kids go hungry; I'm not letting them go thirsty. They're very hydrated, well-fed kids.
The default is not that I am always going to be there to take care of them.
This technique encourages her daughter to think ahead and be appreciative when Chelsea is the one who packs the snacks/water/entertainment.
