Children will learn from their own mistakes! ‘Fafo parenting’ is becoming popular to help children become self-reliant.

Childhood means the discipline of elders. Uncle-Jatha’s intense surveillance. And when the lime is removed from the drink, the kanchi is splatted. Almost all of us spent our childhood like this. Parents used to stay behind like squirrels to ‘humanize’ children like humans. But nowadays the picture is different. Even the familiarity of the relationship has changed. In the modern era, parents are choosing a new approach. Its name is ‘Fafo Parenting’ (FAFO). The name originates from the phrase ‘Fuck around and find out’. As strange as it may sound, the point of this technique is to let the child learn from his mistakes. Giving the child some ‘open air’ by letting go of over-vigilance is what Fafo is all about.

What is this new trend?

Parents often stand in the way of their children’s self-reliance while taking care of them. Fafo Parenting says just the opposite. Here the child is given freedom to act on his own. As a result, they make many mistakes while working. And the child learns directly from this mistake. Let’s say no child is stubbornly wearing a sweater on a winter day. Parents should not force him in any way in FAFO method. When he gets cold outside, he will understand why it was necessary to wear a sweater.

What are the benefits?

The biggest virtue of this approach is confidence. When a child experiences the consequences of his own decisions from an early age, judgment is quickly developed in him. He learns to think independently. He does not get nervous about the small problems of life. Instead, he tries to find a solution himself. It accelerates the child’s mental development.

There are also disadvantages

But there is also a flip side to the coin. As self-reliance grows in fafo parenting, it also has some risks. Sometimes parental indifference can create loneliness in the child. If the cost of a mistake is too high, the child may also develop fear. Mental illness may develop. So according to experts, it is not right to apply this principle in all cases. This technique is only effective where there is no possibility of physical injury or major danger.

The chemistry of relationships is about balancing discipline and freedom. The child needs to be held, but its wings are not clipped. Fafo Parenting is a different reminder of that balance. Let the child make mistakes, but learn from those mistakes so that he can match himself in later life.
