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 views and give your own opinion.

Making

decisions

is an important feature of human behaviour. Some

individuals

think that if

children

decide about their routine tasks by themselves, they probably become like people who are just concerned about their own needs.

However

, others think that

children

should make

decisions

about

matters

. In my opinion, making

decisions

by

children

makes them independent

individuals

in society, but families have an essential role in developing the

power

of choice of their

children

by teaching them to make

decisions

in other types of

matters

in addition

to daily routines. On the one hand,

children

always have a high level of talent and the

power

of learning. Indeed, doing repetitive activities is registered in their long-term memories and could become a part of their behaviours. Making choices is a sample of behaviours that

children

learn in their repetitive daily activities. Now, if making choices are related to their inner needs,

such

as food, clothes, and entertainment, they learn to pay attention more to everyday

matters

.

In other words

, by allowing

children

to make

decisions

about routine tasks, the importance of their own wishes is bolded for them, and it makes them self-centred

individuals

who just think about their own needs.

For instance

,

children

who just decide about their food or entertainment cannot easily realize others’ needs and just focus on their own wishes.

On the other hand

, allowing

children

to make choices, even about their own needs, promote their

power

of decision making.

In other words

,

children

who have experience in deciding about their daily

matters

have better

power

of decision making in comparison with those who choose their routine tasks from their own parents. Indeed, those who have a chance to make

decisions

can be more independent people in society about their choice on different types of topics.

For example

,

children

who choose the colour of their clothes by themselves can easily decide about the colour of their cars or colours for the redecoration of their home in the future. In conclusion,

however

, giving chance to

children

to make a decision about their daily programs teach

individuals

who are self-willed and jus have concerned about their own needs,

children

learn to be independent about their choice in society. Of course, families should teach their

children

how to tackle every type of matter and don’t limit their

children

to decide only about daily

matters

.
