Should children under 15 must be allowed to take their decisions on their own without the interuption of their parents or their teacher or any elder. Should you take this point in a positive manner or this should not be followed. What are your opinions

Kids need to be able to make some decisions on their starting from an early age about things like what to wear, what hobbies to undertake, and the like. As they get older, this decision making power must increase if you exspect your kid to be an independent grownup. Of course, parents need to help out with big decisions.

well at a very young age of 1 or 2 children are trained to make decision by preparing 3 sets of shirts and allowing them to choose one....etc.... this will help kids in making decision as they grow. At age 15 , teens are now expose to reality of life, meaning they have rights to decide for their own good and take the risk of it BUT not to all aspect in their lives, they are still in the loving care of parents. at 15 they can decide what kind of organizations in school they want to join, to decide whether to attend a party of a classmate or friend, to decide on their projects to make it more good in school... at this age many things have to be decided by them alone... BUT when it comes to relationship still parents must be concerend enough to give advices to their teens. at this age also they are curious to know things so parents must talk to them maturely for guidance

I think children should be allowed more freedom to make their own decisions as they get older. I think parents should be behind them all the time, helping to guide their decisions and they should intervene if a harmful decision is made.

i think it depends on the situation or that requires them to decide. if it is just simple things that would have no dire or severe consequences, then parents can consider letting their kids under 15 make their own decisions.in a way, it will serve as training for the kids to learn how to be more responsible and how to make good decisions in the future. but still, parents constant guidance must be there to explain to their kids the effects or the consequences of the decisions that they have made.

I think children who are under 15 years of age are too young too take any decisions but still if we want to make our children brave we should advice them to take the decisions of life by doing this they will came to know what is good and what is bad for them,...
