Some people believe that allowing children to make their own decisions is likely to result in a society of individualism. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss.

Nowadays, the chauvinist and patriarchal views into the family's management are almost totally overcome, at least in well-off realities and developed countries. To

this

extent, the young adults and children have acquired bigger respect and attention. Particularly, someone believes that children should chose everything for themselves, while others deem that

this

could bring to individualism. Personally, I partially agree with the

first

idea and in

this

essay I will suggest some food for thoughts. One of the main reasons is that if children are free to choose for themselves, they might

do

engage in

make

up with complaints and live happier. What I mean is that they could be more relaxed in taking care of themselves and more confident, acquiring

also

self-control.

Moreover

, making own choices means to

also

accept all relating responsibilities behind

such

decisions. In details,

this

entails children to be more conscious and to grow up, knowing that every choice could cost some drawbacks with which they need to learn how to deal with.

On the other hand

, we could not forget that they are still children and might not have

such

awareness, typical of adults.

In

Suggestion

With

details, children cannot be already prepared to face up with important issues and

therefore

they always need to be guided in their choices. To sum up, leaving children the possibility to choose for minor issues could be useful to make them develop a partial independence, that

however

couldn't survive without the aids and supports of parents. In my view, children should gain a sort of independence through the everyday life's choices, but parents have to be always there, ready to help them.
