Parents and teachers make many rules for children to encourage good behaviour and protect them from danger. However, children would benefit from fewer rules and greater freedom. To what extent do you agree?

It is fundamental duty of parents and teachers to help their children evolve into responsible individuals by imparting them lessons of good behaviour. To ensure that their purpose id fulfilled, parents adopt every possible mode for bringing up their children in a better manner. One such mode the imposing of discipline through rules. I personally believe that though children cannot be given a total rule-free atmosphere, yet there need to be lesser regulations and more freedom.

So many people argue that parents and teacher should make some more rules and give less freedom to youngsters. Firstly, they say imposing strict rules is the only way of making juveniles more disciplines more disciplined. Young ones who grow up in highly controlled environs behave unpredictably mischievous in the absence of guardians and may also have personality disorders as they grow up.

Secondly, they point out that strict rules make them more cultured, well-behaved and sophisticated adults in the future. However, i believe that parents and teachers are the role models for the young ones and so they try to shape themselves like their parents and teachers. Hence, any disparity in the behaviour may lead to less respect and diminished importance of rules in the minds of the children.

Finally, some people assert that restricting freedom helps in protecting them from the snit-social or harmful elements of the society. Contrarily, i think is the age to learn good and bad  things around the world. Confining them may diminish their ability to deal with reality.

All in all, it is true that we cannot give total freedom to kids, as they do not know what is good or bad for them. According to my opinion, fewer desirable rules and greater freedom, serve the purpose of shaping the child into a good individual.

On the other side

It is the principal duty of parents and teachers to protect their children from danger, ensure good behaviour and mould them into good individuals. They should adopt all possible means to work towards this purpose. I think it is essential that we put in place certain rules of behaviour and limit the freedom children have.

Firstly, children are innocent and more vulnerable as compared to mature adults. Stricter rules ensure that children obey them and become more disciplined. This in turn, helps them concentrating more upon the tasks allotted to them. Moreover, it ultimately leads to a better performance academically and socially. Secondly, firm rules also make them more cultured and well behaved and finally leads them to become better human beings.

In addition to this, restricting their freedom protects them from some evils in the society for example, bad habits like smoking or drug addiction. These can otherwise drive them away from their basic responsibility of getting a good education for themselves.

However, some advocates of child freedom assert that confining and development of children to stem rules may give rise to a dislike in them towards their family and school. Next, it may effect them in their overall development because their basic suggest that rather than imposing rules, parents and teachers should be well behaved to make their children like them.

To conclude, according to me, it is true that we should snatch the total freedom of children. However, imposing desired rules and giving required freedom would certainly mould children into better citizens. Moreover, we can protect them from danger.
