Are children generally happier when they have fewer alternatives to choose from, or given no choice at all? From this question, I came up with the following hypothesis; if you have too many alternatives, then you tend to get stressed up and wonder if you made the right choice among the millions of alternatives that you have. Just like the psychologists say, that when you give children too many cereals to choose from, for example, they will get very stressed up and unhappy.
this is my hypothesis and WHAT WOULD BE ME ETHICAL CONSIDERATION?

children should be given specifics! they are not capable of choosing what is good for them! giving them lots to choose may be confused and end up confused for the rest of their lives!

Yes. Age appropriateness. Younger the child the fewer the choices, is best. We all know that. It has been scientifically proven and researched frequently.

I can see that it is possible.Im sometimes undecisive, but not really stressed. Im a teenager tho, not a child, so there might be a difference
