Children are not small adults. Nevertheless, it happens that we unconsciously treat them as such.

Sometimes, we expect things from them that they are not yet able to fulfill. They usually lack the mental maturity to do this, as children only learn many important social skills gradually. In order to prevent unnecessary frustration and anger, we should question some of our unrealistic expectations more often. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children and young people between the ages of 5 and 7 should get a lot of exercise. Slowing them down inhibits development, and the little ones have less and less confidence in themselves. One study even showed that helicopter parents raise children to be sedentary. That's why we should all let our children run, romp, and scream more. The better this ability is developed, the more generous the child is when sharing.
