Self-determination

Self Determination refers to your child's capacity to exercise autonomy and agency over their lives.

A self-determined child is capable of solving problems and making choices and decisions that positively affect their lives.

A child-parent relationship that fosters the autonomy of the child is key to preventing ill-being and promoting well-being. Children that are raised with a high degree of self-autonomy demonstrate greater levels of motivation, self-regulation, and general psychological health.

This autonomy encompasses a wide-ranging skillset including, their ability to make choices, solve problems, set goals, regulate their emotions, and self-advocate.
