If we were to make a comparison between the position children had in society a few years ago and the one they have nowadays, we would say that today children possess much more freedom than in the past. Which is the cause of such a change?

First of all, we should think about the fact that society itself has changed. Mentalities are others and people have started little by little to give up prejudices and have a modern way of seeing the reality around them. Therefore, children have begun to free more independent both in the middle of the family as well as when it comes to speak about their group of friends.

Then, let’s consider the fact that children have started to speak more freely to their parents about their lives. If their parents give them advice, they pre fer not to take it into consideration because they say they know what to do and what it best for them. They buy extravagant clothes, have cool hairstyles, like to go downtown until late hours and are naughty in attitude no matter the person they approach.
On the other hand, parents give them money to buy whatever their children wish to buy, allow them to meet friends and go in discos or bars from an early age.

That's why they accept and contribute somehow to their children’s behaviour. And when children make mistakes and their parents punish them for a week at the most, the latter are the ones who finally decide to ‘make peace’. And what is the most interesting of all is the fact that the offspring doesn’t consider him-self guilty of anything and blames his parents for not understanding his point of view.

Children adopt these attitudes as a result of the environment they live in and in accordance with the education they have been given. If parents don’t know how to manage in their education, they will have the surprise to have a rebellious child, who will always do whatever he thinks is the best for him. Parents will have nothing to say in different matters concerning the lives of their children and their decisions.
