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 wished. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

A group of people believe that letting children choose what they want in something that they want like clothes, food and having fun would improve their selfishness.

On the contrary

, others think that it is essential to have the right to make decisions in childhood because of its effects. In my opinion, a child needs freedom in the way of living and sharing its tastes like another human being in everyday matters. On the one hand, children who can make a decision about their needs are more confident.

Although

parents have to lead and guide them to make a reasonable choice, they should teach youth the importance of having confidence and telling their own ideas

instead

of being quiet and obedient. If we do not give

this

opportunity to a child to say her/his opinion, it would make him/her a potential victim of bullying in the near future

On the other hand

, another reason for

this

mindset is achieving a more democratic and equal society by teaching children to have their own choices in everyday matters. The young generation are the next citizens who can defend their rights in future if they see how they can do it from the early beginning. When they are allowed to be treated as a person respectfully in their preferences and what they want, it can not only improve their sense of identity but

also

eradicate any possibility of being a deactivated individual. In conclusion, having the right of choice in childhood about what they want as a hobby, clothes or food is a vital part of nurturing.

This

is a real protection to defend themselves from bullying in school and

also

as a civilized person against any dictatorial behaviour or policy.
