I know it can be difficult for parents, but I really do believe that kids need to play the predominant role in the choices that go into their own space.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'
Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.
I think the depth, what children can handle and what they're interested in, is much deeper than I think what people assume. I think it's why sometimes we make things too simple for them.
Most parents' goal is to launch their children into the world with all the tools they need to make it on their own.
I believe without a single shadow of a doubt that it is necessary for young people to learn to make choices. Learning to make right choices is the only way they will survive in an increasingly frightening world.
Kids at a certain age don't necessarily want to be dragged to the other side of the world.
I believe there ought to be school choice, so that parents can choose within the public school system.
The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents.
Kids have to experiment a little or figure out where they belong.
Kids still can be said to live in their own little world. Even if their parents are helicoptering around them, assigning play dates and so forth, I think they're still living in some sense of their own little perceptual worlds.
