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 of their own whishes .Other people believe that it is important for children to make decision about matters that affect them.Discuss both these view and give your own opinion

There are differing opinions regarding the
choices
made by children
. One
group is of the view that when kids
are left to make their own decisions they will be selfish whilst others say it is important for children
to choose what relates to them. This
essay will discuss both opinions. I will give my opinion in the course of my essay.
To begin
with, food choices
and entertainment are very personal. What one
person may enjoy, another may not. Everyone is different in terms of their genetic makeup. For instance
, some people are allergic to some meals whilst others are not. This
happens even among family members. Also
what may taste nice to one
person may not to the other. To illustrate this
,I do not like fish but all my other siblings do. Therefore
, I think for something as basic as food, kids
should be allowed to make their choice based on what they enjoy and like. For entertainment, one
cannot be forced to enjoy a particular television program or a type of music. It is a desire that develops naturally over time.So, children
should be left to discover what they love and go with it. In view of the above points stated, I do not see how being allowed to make very personal life
decisions can generate selfishness in an individual and do not agree with the group that thinks so.
However
, there are very significant decisions in life
like education and clothes I will say parents should exert some control. Children
have the minds of kids
, thus
they may not know the consequences of their choices
at a particular point in time and will hence
require parental guidance. For example
, a child
who decides to stop schooling because of corporal punishment meted to him or her by a teacher may only be talking from current emotions. Meanwhile, in the long run, this
child
may lose the opportunity to acquire a white-collar job because of a childish decision made. Also
, a female child
who constantly wears very indecent clothes may only be preyed on by rapists and the outcome obviously would be deleterious. This
can be prevented by an adult teaching their children
how to dress. It is clear, there are some instances in our caretakers must definitely have a say in our choices
based on their level of maturity compared to children
and I think this
should be the case.
To sum up
, I am of the view that kids
should be left to make some basic life
choices
like what to eat and this
does not in any way affect an external person whilst parents should guide their wards in very serious life
path like education and how to dress as the outcome of not choosing the right path in these aspects will irreversibly ruin the future of the child

logical structure
Ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Each paragraph should focus on one main idea and be logically organized.
introduction conclusion present
Include a strong introduction that presents the topic and your position, and a conclusion that summarizes your main points and restates your opinion.

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
