Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nevertheless

, there are different points of view in the level of autonomy that should be given to the children to make their own decisions. In my opinion a combination of both ways of thinking could lead to a better result. Many people believe that giving children the permission to make all decisions delivers them the message that only their wishes matters. It is obvious that we

In any case make all the decisions for children or giving them total freedom to do so, are extreme ideas. I think that there should be a position in the middle. Sometimes is going to be better let children decide and in other occasions decide for them. Certain freedom could be accompanied with a sense of parental authority. In conclusion a mix of both points of view might lead to a better result. It is clear that giving children a level of autonomy and discipline could teach them to be a better decision – makers.
