I think the descisions should be mutual and discussed by everyone involved. Parents should not just make important descions for their older children without explaining why they feel the way they do and giving the child a chance to weigh in on matter that will affect his or her life.

Ture, but not all parents make descisions in the best interest of their children. Many do not concider what their children may believe, feel, think, or agree with and instead choose what they wish and expect their children to just accept it as is. We need to trust our children more that they can and will make good choices if we help them and give them the chance.

Yes,that is true..on that age,they need a guidance so that when they are on the right age to decide for themselves,they do know what they have to do.

I don't think we should be making all the decisions for our children at that age just over seeing them and letting them know that we will always be there for them. Guidance is a lot better than making thier decisions so that they will know how to survive on there own later in life.

While it is true that parents have more experience, and know best in certain cases, they should still take the feelings of their children into consideration. Decisions should be discussed with children. Even though parents should have the final say, they should not expect their children to obey blindly. They need to allow the children some amount of control in their lives.

But sometimes,there are also a time that parents should be the one to decide and must be follow by the child though the child don't want. Especially when they are still on their parents care.
