These days, it’s a generally acknowledged fact that raising children in the family is a quite stressful and important issue for parents. It is a common belief that parents should control their children in involving activities. From my perspective, I partly agree with this idea. This essay will give an insight into both concerns and indicate my personal opinion.
At the begining, when children live under the parent’s control, they can avoid certain unexpected situations, such as injury or deseases. This is because children are not enough knowledge or experience to recognize an appropriate activity, which is based on their natural abilities and capacities. Moreover, nowadays, there are many temptations such as the internet, games, social media,… all of them may make the children have bad habits and easily get worse. For example, on TikTok, if the parents do not supervise the content they watch on it, they can access many videos about violence, or even limit age contents, which may make the children change their minds and have an extravagant attitude.
However, it is widely accepted that giving a freedom of choice can really motivate the children to be responsible for their choice and decision as well as they will become more muture by learning from their failure they have gone through. It is clearly that they may not feel restricted, which can open spaces for creativity and bring them into a more responsible individual. Furthemore, children can freely do something they enjoy will help parents identify their natural talent and develop confidence in them. Therefore, children can make their future bright by setting goals, and they will try to achieve them. Consequently, to compare with their peers, they will reach success easier and faster.
In conclution, from all above-mentioned point, although children can have freedom to do something they like that can help them to become more independent and responsible, parents should be encourage to take care of their children and give advice to them to find an appropriate activity.
