Make them do things themselves. So many parents want to do things for their kids to "do it right" or "get it done faster" that they don't see the value in allowing their children to do things for themselves... washing their clothes, helping with dinner, doing dishes. They won't do it well at first but after a while they will and they'll feel better about themselves for being independent and confident that they can do it--which helps in the long run, when they are adults.
