child interaction and help a
child learn to assume a more active and ultimately independent role in the learning process.10 Responsive support
for the
child to become actively engaged in solving problems is often referred to as
parental scaffolding, and is also thought to be key
for facilitating
children's development of self - regulation and executive function skills, behaviours that allow the
child to ultimately assume
responsibility for their well - being.11, 12
