Some people think children should have the freedom to make mistakes, while others believe that adults should prevent children from making mistakes.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
The argument over children’s upbringing revolves around whether parents should permit their children’s errors or take a preventative measure. In my opinion, though children may act outside the constraints of social norms when they are left on their own due to their immaturity, most children develop important skills and qualities through making and learning from their mistakes. Therefore, I side against interfering with children’s freedom.
Proponents of limiting children’s wayward impulses point to their immaturity. That is, the younger a person is, the more immature they are to comprehend the consequences of their mistakes. With that in mind, parents find it necessary to impinge on their children’s decisions and day-to-day matters so as to deter their children from making a mistake that can potentially harm societies in the long run. For example, a child falling in with the wrong crowd can possibly develop anti-social behavior eventually, violating social norms, say, through dabbling in graffiti in restricted areas or initiating vandalism. If signs of this conduct are not identified and prevented by parents, the long-term consequences might be more severe for societies, leading to a decline in community cohesion.
However urgent parental oversight might appear, there are still others who advocate for allowing autonomy even in making mistakes. Little do opponents know that parents might hold back their children from developing certain skills and traits once they encroach on their children’s freedom. That is, hardly can a child learn from their mistakes, in turn, failing to develop tenacity and resilience when they are rigidly supervised by their parents. For instance, the unprecedented successes of great minds, say, Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison would not have been possible if their parents had been overly vigilant at their young ages, reprimanding them for their curiosity.
Having considered both viewpoints, I side with those who are in favor of liberate means of parenting. This is because not only do children benefit from this approach acquiring certain qualities, but also parents stand to gain from it. But for children’s autonomy, they would become both financial and psychological burden on their parents once they grow up. That said, when they are allowed to make their decisions on their own and suffer the aftermath outcomes, they will be less bound to torture their parents asking for money or sharing their problems later on. In addition, despite the likelihood of children harming societies when they are not strictly monitored, the cases above are only exceptions and independent minds tend to bring more successes to societies, as exemplified by Einstein and Edison.
To conclude, while some think that young minds should be directed by their parents to avoid the risk of making errors, I am convinced that allowing them freedom can yield more positive outcomes seeing as children with more autonomous upbringing can become resilient and tenacious while being less reliant on their parents for money and emotional support in the long run. The benefits of these independent minds for society are also undeniable, hence my stand supporting freedom rather than interference.
