Children power - opinions please?
I am all for standards and believe that all parents should go to parent skills groups to learn the basics about what is and is not acceptable, but has what is considered 'good' parenting gone too far?
I am all for giving young people a voice and believe that children are little people, but when guidance and boundaries are in the long term the better solution, at what point does your child loose their right to their own way?
As some teenagers can pull every trick in the book to get their own way, surely it is better to let difficult children know that what can be quite extreme behaviour (for little people) stunts will not work, even if the text book says otherwise.
Not all children are the same and should not be treated as such, every situation determines quite differing remedies.
Extreme behaviour from little people of course needs looking into, some children can be very demanding and this does not necessarily mean they have a bad family, for example, my child has high functioning aspergers, something I knew when she was two, but the text book could not determine until she was 11

It depends on various other factors. Also it depends on which power you have in mind. People have physical power, mental power, moral power, spiritual power, intellectual power, divine power, money power, etc. etc.
Moreover children learn more from the behavior, actions, exhibitions, demonstration and practices of elders in the family. They copy whatever the elders are doing. It also depends age range which you are considering. Normally we are supposed to maintain discipline and orderliness. We should display some high moral standards in our dealings with others.

I believe that children need to have boundaries. If they all the time can do whatever they feel like, then when they grow up there will be no respect for others, and they will just set their own rules. Look around in society, do we not already have enough of that? As parents we have to set a good example, we have to give proper guidance, and if that means putting our foot down now and then, then so be it. They will still live, and at least they will know what is acceptable and what is not. But whatever is done should be done with wisdom and love.

They are children, and need rules and guidance, not "rights".
