In order for children to take on more responsibility, they need confidence in themselves to try and fail that is best built by spending time with parents. Educators have found that there is no substitute. This booklet stresses that time must be spent paying undivided attention to the child, talking, interacting, working together, bonding, developing mutual respect and understanding, and being involved with each other's lives. Parent must put down the newspaper, turn off the TV and pay attention. The key is that the child needs to perceive that the time and attention is significant, that she is valued and important. When she feels this, she will take on more responsibility with ease.
