. To start with, in countries that give
freedom
 to
children
, it might lead them down the wrong path as they do have not enough knowledge to understand what is right or wrong. If
children
 are allowed to do whatever they want, they are more likely to grow into irresponsible adults lacking empathy.
For example
, in countries where there is too much personal
freedom
,
children
 as young as fourteen years old regularly drive vehicles and cause accidents. There are
also
children
 who bring guns to school and shoot
others
. These behaviours are unacceptable and there should be limits on what they can do.
On the other hand
, too many restrictions will stifle the growth of
children
. They need their personal space to grow and develop. Imposing too many

 on them will push them into depression and affect their normal growth. Studies have shown that
children
 who grow up with proper parental care and fewer
rules
 are more likely to prosper in life In my opinion, parents should have
rules
 that govern
children
’s behaviour.
For instance
, they should not be allowed to do things that would hurt themselves or
others
. They should be taught to respect authority. At the same time, they should have the
freedom
 to decide what they eat, drink, or do in their free time, as long as their choices are not harmful.
Children
 need some

 with suitable parental control since they do not know what is wrong and right for them. In conclusion,

 are necessary for

rules
 should not affect their development and

 at a young child age.
