Some people think parents should supervise their children's activities closely, while others believe children should have more freedom. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

parents

should take control of their offspring closely, others believe

children

should be given more

freedom

. I’m going to discuss these opposing points of view. In my opinion,

parents

should not monitor their offspring too closely but are always willing to support them whenever their

children

need them. On the one hand, it is argued that

parents

’ supervision of their young is important and necessary. The main reason is that

kids

are unable to protect themselves in some potentially dangerous situations. It is

also

possible to say that they are not mature and knowledgeable enough to keep themself away from dangers that are present everywhere around them. For

iexample

Correct your spelling

example

, a

child

may not know a bowl of boiling soup on the table is hot and can cause burning. They possibly put their fingers into the bowl and get a burn. Another reason is nowadays there is an increasing issue of

children

kidnapping crime.

For example

, when a

child

is playing in the park without his

parents

’ supervision, some criminals can approach the

child

and allure him with sweets or something, and

then

kidnap the

child

. The criminals do that just because they want to take ransom from the

child

’s

parents

or they may sell the poor

child

overseas.

Therefore

, if the

parents

always keep an eye on their

children

’s activities, it will be safer for the

kids

.

On the other hand

, it is strongly believed by others that

children

should have more

freedom

to do almost whatever they want. People often have

this

opinion because they think the best way to learn everything is from both bad and good experiences that would help

children

grow independently and wisely. A second point is that

freedom

would encourage and enhance a

child

’s creativity, problem-solving skills and sense of responsibility.

For example

, when a

child

is playing with his peers in the playground, and sometimes there is a quarrel with other

kids

. If the

parents

do not intervene in the

kids

’ business, the

child

will learn how to communicate, and negotiate to get what he wants. He may be a loser, but at least after that, he can learn to control his negative feelings. In conclusion, it is commonly thought that

parents

should supervise their

children

carefully; meanwhile, others assume that

parents

should give their

children

more

freedom

to develop naturally and independently. Personally, I tend to believe that

parents

should let their

kids

grow up naturally and learn new things with genuine curiosity about the world and sometimes deal with certain harsh situations so that they can develop various life skills.
