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

There are different opinions about
children
's decision making. Some may argue that
children
would probably become selfish persons in their future life
as a result
of giving them excessive freedom to do whatever they want, while others like me, think letting a kid make own their choices on things are indispensable and have effects on them. On the one hand, making
decisions
completely by
children
may cause a self-centred person in society. Permitting a child to decide on everything, create a sense of selfishness in a child's mind when they grow up and
also
, they would learn to continue
this
behaviour in all stage of their life.
For instance
, if a child all the time make a decision to play what kind of games and do not pay attention to his/her peers,
therefore
in future
this
kid in the most situation
such
as being in the workplace, it is more likely to rely just on own
decisions
and desires.
This
kind of society cannot progress because of these kinds of individuals.
On the other hand
, not allowing
children
this
right to choose about themselves can result in some characteristics problems. In another word, they would not become independent in making
decisions
and will always be dependent on their parents, due to a lack of confidence. Recent research has provided that childhood experience leaves a permanent impact on
children
's treat and thinking patterns.
Further
, if
children
had not had freedom of choice, they would be less creative than those who choose freely. By the way of conclusion, the society along with parents should allow
children
to make their own
decisions
but there should be education through giving consulting to them and boundary to
this
liberty.
