Image is showing a child wearing a blue sweater with a pink plate and matching cup. White text is a quote from J. Milburn and reads "Autonomy is a need. The more control children have in their lives, the less they look to control the things they can't. That's why it's not really about 'the red plate,' it's about getting to make their own choice. Autonomy is one cup that young children need filled regularly and making choices is one way they fulfil that need"
When a child has autonomy, even in small ways, it helps build their confidence, self-esteem & independence
