Some people think that children should obey the rules or do what their parents and teachers want them to do. Other people think that children controlled too much cannot deal with problems themselves in adulthood. Discuss both views and state your own opinion.

Children

are expected to conform to some

rules

on many occasions. Sometimes disciplines, I think, are important to regulate

children’s

behaviours, but too strict

rules

may have an adverse impact on the problem-solving abilities of

children

. The main purpose of regulations is to make

children

responsible for their behaviours, shaping a good code of conduct from a young age.

Children

are unaware of the consequences of bad behaviour. Unlike adults,

children

are unaware of the consequences of bad behaviour.

However

,

children

can gradually realize how to behave in a socially acceptable way.

For example

,

children

would learn how to show good manners and how to get along well with others, which are of vital importance to their adult life.

In contrast

, if there are no regulations to prohibit

children

from saying dirty words or bullying others, they may not understand how to deal with social relationships and even commit a crime in adulthood. Sometimes regulations may not have positive influences on

children’s

growth if parents or teachers who establish strict

rules

emphasize the obedience of

children

. Obeying

rules

will restrain

children’s

imagination and creativity.

Thus

, students are afraid of putting their ideas into practice because they fear being punished for breaking

rules

.

As a result

,

children

rely so much on norms to make decisions that they can’t cope with various complicated problems in workplaces independently.

For instance

, if students are taught to solve math questions in one way,

then

they would rarely consider other approaches.

Also

, too strict upbringing leads to the loss of

children’s

time-control ability, so they cannot balance work and life, losing chances of success in their careers. In summary,

children

should abide by

rules

in schools or at home because they can’t regulate their behaviours, but too strict norms will restrict students’ imagination and decision-making ability and harm their future careers.
