Do you think children sometimes have to make important decisions?
Yes, children do sometimes make important decisions. For example they might choose which club or sport to join, or whether to stay with a friend. Often parents help them, but small choices can still matter to a child.
Definitely — children are faced with choices that matter for their development. Even deciding which extracurriculars to pursue, whether to move schools, or how to spend pocket money can shape habits and confidence. Those early choices teach them responsibility and how to weigh consequences, even if adults guide them.
