Band 6

Parents and teachers make rules for children to encourage good behaviour and to protect them from danger. However, children would benefit from fewer rules and greater freedom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#parents #teachers #rules #children #behaviour #danger #freedom
One of the tasks of parents and teachers in raising a
child
 is to ensure their safety and organize the best future for them.
However
, many believe that the
restrictions
 and
rules
 established for
children
 are too strict and require review. Those who oppose the
rules
 argue, first of all, that
children
 should be given more freedom, as only through experience gained because of their own mistakes they will be able to understand how to live the right way.
However
, I cannot fully agree with
this
 point of view, as I believe that most
rules
 are introduced to protect the
child
 from impulsive actions that can lead to terrible consequences.
For example
, in many families, the rule is established to "return home by 11 pm" or "inform about their location and that everything is okay." Parents establish
such
rules
 to be sure that their
children
 are okay. The second argument of those who oppose
rules
 is that
restrictions
 and
rules
 suppress the
child
's individuality. They argue that a prohibition on various actions is accompanied by the fact that
children
 cannot show the versatility of their personality, as they are in strict frames. Undoubtedly,
this
 is an interesting point of view, but I still believe that
rules
 are created not so much to prevent a
child
's personality from developing
,

show examples
 but to ensure that
children
 understand that their freedom ends where the freedom of another person begins, so that they do not harm others and respect their comfort and rights.
Finally
, I would like to add that the frames in which a
child
 must develop form discipline and responsibility for their
life
Replace the word
lives
show examples
 and the lives of those around them. Some
restrictions
 will allow a
child
 to grow into an organized and disciplined adult. In conclusion, I must note that
although
 the question of
rules
 and
restrictions
 is controversial, I still adhere to the opinion that if these
rules
 do not harm the
child
's life and are created for their safety, discipline, and responsibility, they should be applied.
