This document introduces the concept of independence and being an independent learner. It discusses how babies rely on their parents but people become more independent as they age, though sometimes still need help. It encourages thinking, choosing, acting, and speaking for yourself as you gain independence. The overall message is that independence is about doing more for yourself as you grow older.
