Parenting
Every teen or kid is going to eventually get old enough to the point where they no longer want to stay at home with their parents all the time. Teens especially, would much rather go out with their friends, and get out of the house for a while. Parents choosing to not give their child any freedom isn’t a good choice to make, and will make your child resent being home all the time, and even resent their parents as well. If parents never allow their kids to go out and enjoy themselves, their child will want to get out as soon as possible, like when they graduate. Parents don’t understand that giving your child freedom is how they’ll learn about the outside world, which they are going to have to live in on their own eventually.
I’m not saying you should just allow your child to go somewhere that you know will be dangerous and harmful to them, but if parents don’t give them at least some freedom, their kid is more likely to act out behind their backs, and get into trouble more often. Parents may think they’re trying to protect their child from the dangers in the world, when they’re really doing the opposite. Having no freedom as a child can affect their adulthood when they grow older. As an adult, they may be confused about a variety of things, since they weren’t able to experience it at a younger age. Giving your children freedom at a reasonable age will help them in the long run.
