I am a mother of 2 and I give freedom with limitations. You can't let them do whatever they want because they aren't going to always do the right thing and they will run wild. Children need guidance, structure and discipline to be respectful individuals.

Freedom with boudaries so they know what is right from what is wrong. Don't give them total freedom or they'll turn into brats, but don't give them too little freedom or they'll grow up repressed and during their teenage years you'll lose any control or respect from them.
Whatever you do, make sure they do have limitations. Without them, they don't only turn spoilt, but they could go astray with drugs as they'll know you won't do anything to stop them.

When I have children, I want to raise then the same way my parents raised me. My parents didn't hide truths from me because they thought I was too young, and they tought me good values.
I will tell my kids about all the diffrent religions and I will not force them to choose one. I want to teach them to respect nature, the enviorment and animals as well as people. I want them to not be afraid to stand up for themselves even if it is to an adult. I want to teach them that its not cool to pick on people at school and that they shouldn't let others get away with it. I want them to realize that if they fall out of a tree its their fault for climbing it and they cant sue the person who has the tree. I want them to work for what they get and to understand hard work.
I will give my kids alot of freedom, but only to an extent. I will push for them to go to the best school I can afford so they can get the best education and I will not accept them slacking off in school. Other then that as long as they earn their freedom they can have it, so long as I dont catch them smoking or doing drugs or drinking or doing some ither stupid things. I will expect to know where their going, but thats all my parents asked of me.

I am a 16 year old, and my parents give me freedom with limitations and freedom with responsibility. I want my parents to give me bounderies. Because if they didnt, i would not know what is really wrong. Hope this helps!

I give my children age appropriate choices. For example, I will let him at 3 years old decide if he wants to wear a red shirt or a blue one. I will not let him decide he wants to eat chips for breakfast because that's not a good choice. I am still teaching him that and when he knows what good food choices are, then he will be allowed to make them.

I thought most children alread were allowed to do most of what they want when they want. Judging from the bad manors and selfishness of most i sure think it is time for a little less and when they want they have to earn it.
Most young parents I have met in the last few years do not have any idea how to deal with their own children. I think thye are afraid of them.
Well they scare me too.

Letting children run rampant is wrong and won't teach them manners and smarts in the real world.. Children need to not get what they want sometimes, so in the future they realize they can't have EVERYTHING.

My 3 boys, ages 8, 11 and 14 are still immature and very small for their age.
MY 14 year old is still only 4'11 85 lbs and has the body of a small 10 year old and is very immature.
They can go play outside in the backyard, but not leaving the house area without me. IF we are going somewhere where there is many people I will hold their hands and not let them out of my site.

Of course not. Children need and want structure.
Everyone knows that letting a child determine his/her own upbringing is negligent at best and at worst downright deadly. Though they're modified from age to age (and sometimes from day to day), rules, expectations and consequences need to be implemented from day one.

Children need freedom within boundaries they are aware of. They NEED to know what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour in all things.
