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 views and give your own opinion. These days, freedom of decision for children has gained a lot of attention. While some people argue that giving free choices in almost every aspect of children`s lives would make them self-centered in future, others claim that it is a crucial issue for each child to be able to make decision about his matters by his own. I believe that in most cases it is a necessary skill to learn how to make choices independently especially from childhood. Firstly, I think that children would feel more confident when they decided alone than when they were coerced by adults to act in a specific manner. That is, everyone would prefer to play a role in his own behavior even when it isn`t perfect. In other words, children could shape a mature self-esteem due to rely their own experiences. For instance giving the child an option to choose the colour of his own clothes would give him in fact a large capacity to make strong self-confidence. Moreover, learning free choices could also increase the ability of children`s social interactions. Because only he who experiences independency in his daily decisions could respect the others decision too. Finally, despite many claims and assumptions about the negative effects of allowing children to have their own choices, I as a psychologist have never seen any proven connection between self-centeredness and freedom of decision in social life yet. In conclusion, I would say that not only isn`t it harmful to learn how to make a decision independently but also it is a necessary skill for almost all children as young members of every society.
