Tainá Militão implements strict autonomy routine for children in Madrid

Digital influencer Tainá Militão has shared the specific routine she uses to foster independence in her children, Helena, 7, and Matteo, 5, while living in Madrid, Spain.

Following guidance from child therapists, Militão requires the children to complete a list of daily responsibilities and personal hygiene tasks before engaging in any leisure activities. The approach aims to prevent a culture of dependency, ensuring that the children perform basic tasks themselves rather than relying on household staff or adults to do everything for them.

Matteo, aged 5, reportedly manages tasks such as making his bed, brushing his teeth, and folding clothes as part of this pedagogical method. Militão emphasized that while it is often faster for adults to perform these tasks for children, maintaining this discipline is essential for their long-term development and autonomy.
