The extent to which children should be permitted to make their own decisions as well as the implications for their sense of responsibility have sparked debate among many parents. Although decision-making abilities will benefit children, I think that parents should interfere to guide their children in making more conscious decisions.
Kids and adolescents who are given the freedom to make their own decisions will develop individuality and a sense of responsibility over time. However, some parents like to be strict and determine the most suited chooses for their children. These children will most likely become gullible. When parents are liberal and let their children choose for themselves, children are more open about their issues. For instance, children who choose their own toys and books will them more responsible in maintaining them in addition to informing their parents when something is lost or broken instead of trying to hide it.
Howbeit, some parents think that leaving the kids to decide for themselves would make them self-centred and socially less responsible. While freewill might direct children to be independent, it could also lead them to not consider the views of others. Thus, parents should sometimes put their children in the right direction and be on the lookout while determining critical choices. Furthermore, it provides parents with an opportunity to teach their children about ethics. At the same time, parents should also make sure to not force their wishes onto their children.
Finally, parents should allow their children make their own decisions while guiding them in the right path in order to help them become responsible and more empathic. I think parents should collaborate with their children so as to raise sensible individuals.
