What is a good thing for the children’s development? To tell them to follow the rules of this world or to let them do whatever they want to do? Everyone knows that the feeling of to do things with a big freedom is wonderful. But how many of us have thought about that if that is a good thing or a bad thing? We can let the children to play or watch TV all the day; on the other hand, we also can have controlling for children to limit the freedom they think they should have. Which way you will choose if you are a parent? Some of the parents just thought that playing is good, it can let the kids learned something through the playing. What they did was sitting side to do their business and let the kids play games or eat lots of snacks while they are watching TV. But without the parents doing something to direct the kids, how the kids can learn something from “playing”. And also I don’t think those are not kinds of playing that the children can learn something. The parents should tell the children that this world is limited, is not totally free. If they couldn’t get this massage when they are kids, it only will bring more pains when they understand it older. So I don’t think to let the children too free is a good thing for their development.

  1. Parent should be more involved in their children lives. I think to many parents take the stance of their and their children lives as being separate. Parents need to interact with their children to help their development.

  2. Jia, Interesting response. I agree with you that it stems largely from what the parents allow and don't allow children to do. I believe that becoming a parent carries more responsibility than most people are prepared to take on. Children, left on their own, have no guidance other than media, other children, etc. This is a sad state of affairs, and confuses children in many ways.

  3. I would totally agree with you on that note...parents have to limit what their childeren are doing and when they are doing it. Parents need to take more responsibilty when it comes to what childeren eat and what they watch it's always nice for parents to have a break but they need to be more aware of what is going around them....and to teach them the right ideas. great response!
