What if parents allow them to have such freedom in the early lives? Will the child develop with better judgement? Will the child not become even wilder? To me, there are many factors, and I guess it all boils down to personal beliefs (and principle).
Thinking back. What if my parents allows me to have such a freedom?
Honestly speaking, the only problem for me is the level of protection I had in my 20 years of life. I am too protected that I have no sense of danger; I can't read people's face and thoughts until when I am in the teenage years. This is seriously bad, because children especially at very young age is the most sensitive towards their environment (which includes people).
The difference between freedom and protection is just a fine line. For me, the protection leads to freedom. To me parents, it's linked. If I had initiated a decision, yes, they gave me to freedom to proceed, but with condition and that is their way of protection. Thus, in the long run, I don't bother to make any decisions, because they had it all planned, and if I ever made one, in an exchange, I have to accept their condition (which I wouldn't like). What is the point then?
I guess that is the major mistake that my parents had made, in resulting me to be such an indecisive person.
Now, boyfriend have a hard time to train me in decision making. However, I think I had made improvements after so long...
