Building Daily Independence
Your child relies on you for everything and isn't developing age-appropriate independence
Steps
- Identify one skill they're nearly ready for and focus on just that
- Break the skill into small steps and teach one step at a time
- Use 'backward chaining': do everything except the last step, let them finish it independently
- Gradually fade your support as they gain confidence
- Celebrate independence: 'You made your own breakfast today!'
What you need
Patience, step-by-step task breakdowns, celebration of small wins
Why it works
Children with ADHD, Autism, and Dyspraxia often develop independence skills later than peers because the tasks require executive functioning, motor planning, and sequencing that don't come naturally. Backward chaining — where you do everything except the last step — builds confidence from the finish line backwards.
Age guidance
Applicable from age 4 onwards. The specific skills and expectations will vary, but the approach works at any age.
Real-world example
A parent used backward chaining for making a sandwich: they did everything and let their child put the top slice on. The next week, the child also spread the butter. Within a month, they were making the whole sandwich. Each step felt easy because they already knew how it ended.
Troubleshooting
- Don't try to teach independence for everything at once. One skill at a time
- Some days they'll need more help. That's normal, not a setback
- Compare them to their past self, never to peers
