A child should never be allowed to do as they please. If you allow so much freedom then you are just asking for trouble.

Depending on the age of the child, you allow them to earn a certain amount of trust. With this trust comes the understanding that if the child makes a poor decision, trust will have to be re-earned. This way a child is given the chance to make smart decisions on his/her own, but still has boundaries that are controlled by the parents. When trust is broken, the child does not get to make these decisions for him/herself. The more wise choices the child makes, the more trust is earned, the more freedom the child has. This is something that should be started on a smaller scale when the child is in grade school and can continue through adolescence to transition the child into adulthood. It helps a child learn to make good decisions for him/herself which is an important life skill.

well what exactly would the situation be, ie: Your kid wants money and to go to the dance. The problem: do u give 'em money and/or go to the dance. me i would say here is $20 and be back by 10. So, they get what they want, but with boundaries. IE again: Your son/daughter wants to date the cheerleader/quarterback. Their choice isn't hte best at all. PROB.:do ya let em date the person, well yes, no kissin no touchin and if ya go out be back by 9 hope i helped

I think it depends on the situation. If you raise them right with morals and ethics then they will always do the right thing. Children lead by example. Sometimes such as things as problems with friends, you have to let them learn on their own but as long as you keep open communication and talk to them, it should be ok. I just want my daughter to be kind to others regardless of how they treat her.

A child should be able to do as they please as long as it's the "right thing". The parent must know how to say no.
Proverbs 13:24
He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.

My kids don't get to do what they want until they do what I want them to do.
House chores, school work, etc.
It's a trade off. No barganing.

there is no boundry when they are still young. you have to teach them first so that they know what the right thing is. children do not raise themselves.

an it harm none, do what you ye will...
if it's not breaking a rule or the law, let them see the consequences of their actions.
