Doing something for a child all the time is short-term thinking. Adults do it because it saves them time there and then, but of course guiding them through the process of doing things for themselves gives them long-term autonomy, giving them better self-esteem, helping them make better decisions and take more responsibility.

As a classroom teacher, I think we definitely need more of such empowerment.
