Ok because children our like a mold and yes they do have there own personalty I am not talking about that .What i mean is children are a mold in the fact that they need to be taught morals to live there life .If your child wants to grow up to be whatever they need to be given morals so that they no what is right and what is wrong that is why you need to give them freedom a Little by little. They need freedom to learn but this is a process that takes years. but to much is bad and too little is bad too there is a balance to parenting.

It’s all about guidance.

Children are too young to make responsible decisions. It’s the responsibility to help them with this.

Children can't manager their lives they don't know enough about life to know what it's about. The parents need to set clear boundies and limits and allow children the freedom to make choices inside of these clear boundies and limits. Only when a child learns what happens when a wrong choice is made or the right choice is made can they learn about managing their life and how their decisions affect their freedom to manage , if the wrong choice is made their needs to be a lesson learned by the child so he thinks about his choices more realistically the next time , if the right choice is made the child needs to made to feel good and proud about the choice by the parents.

the children shud be gradually allowed freedom as they grow while closely m9onitoring them till adulthood. a child cannot suddenly become adult. it is a process. so freedom shud be increased with growth of a child.

Children need guidance. It is your job as a parent to ensure they know how to make decisions and how each decision will affect them.

No..Children should be taught how to manage their lives until they are not children anymore. As they grow older they should be given more freedom and choices but more responsibilities also..

Yes and no. Children need guidance to know what decisions to make. If you just let kids decide whatever they want, what is to stop them from saying "I wanna smoke crack" and becoming a crackhead. Parents need to hold their kids hands, and be parents. Children cannot raise themselves.

They should be, eventually they will be adults and if you don't allow them to make mistakes, you will cripple them psychologically.
