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

There are different views among people about how we should raise and educate

children

in an efficient way to have an effective society in the future. Some argue that the most effective way is to give them the

freedom

of choice in their daily issues,

while

the opponents of

this

idea have various concerns about too individualised community in the future and the problems which may arise. In my opinion, the most effective method is to maintain a balanced view regarding

this

matter.

Initially

, the importance of

freedom

in what

children

can choose should be taken into consideration. A normal and healthy society must be aware of its basic rights and responsibilities. In

this

case,

due to

the fact that

children

of the society benefit from their own

freedom

to select between a wide range of options and

also

have access to the information about positive and negative sides and effects of each selection, we can expect them to act wisely and responsibly towards their choices.

Furthermore

, it can help them to learn gradually different real-world problems and try to offer creative solutions as well.

On the other hand

, if parents only let their

children

make decisions on what they wish without any concern about the consequences of each case, eventually it can lead to a selfish one

that is

not able to have a clear perception of their world and may convey

this

notion that they stand at the centre of the universe.

Moreover

, in later cases, one’s acceptance and adaptation abilities, which play an important role in life, cannot be developed in an efficient way. In conclusion,

whereas

there are controversial debates on choosing the best method of learning for the next generation in terms of

freedom

of alternatives that they may have, I believe that looking at both the advantages and disadvantages of each method separately and holding a fair viewpoint is the best approach.
