Should kids be treated as young adults or like children?

[cryptogirl100]

Many people treat kids like inferior beings, using "cute" voice, not giving them a chance to say their word, make a decision and such. Do you think such behavior might bring harm to the development of their personality, and they should be instead treated like adults, but just less experienced, so with understanding and patience?

We should treat them like a children sometimes , bit please give them a chance to decide also for their own self .

It should really depend on their level of development. Some kids can be reasoned with while other have to be cajoled to do stuff, for example. It's not a one-size-fit-all approach when dealing with kids.

I what I do believe in is that they should be given responsibilities that they can handle as early as possible (stuff for lil kids would be feeding the fish, etc). And quit the "you are special" talk, that would just lead them to disappointment. These two hopefully would make it easier for them to transition from children to adults.

Yeah. So while they still kids they will know how to decide for themselves, thats the practice for them to know how to decide but we still need to treat them like a children because they still kids.

Still treat them with what their age applies.If they are still children.Then rather treat them as veing kids.Do not be so advance in treating them to be  more adults.You may be expecting much more to them.

It depends on how do you want to educate them. If you are always trying to educate them as a strong adult, then they are obviously going to be a succesfull people.

I saw that there are some families educating their childrends like if they were kids of 4 years old, when they are just 12 or 13 Years old.

that is something that would affect them a lot on a near future.

I think saying "cute" to a child means he/she appreciate watching the kid. How much appreciation would be an affection and warmth comfortable words that they love the child. If the age is like 7 below, call the child a chiled and if 7 or 8 and above start calling them a kid. But the important is the upbringing of the parents on how they manage to raise their child to be responsible and to their maturity.

they are kids so raise our children to become a good person and a adult who known  a responsibility in anything he would  do

Democratic
These parenting styles set rules and guidelines for their children, but not authoritarian. Parents are much more open to hearing the children's words and understanding their needs. if it breaks the rules, children will be rebuked in a subtle and non-violent way.
Although monitoring and supervising the behavior of children, parents will not interfere in the child's life for example when looking for friends. New parents will take steps if they feel the child is in danger. This pattern is considered the most ideal and most common style of parenting .

When i talk with my child i talk with him like to an adult but, in the same time, i manage the direction of the discussion and he is aware of the limits of the discussion.

I treat my child as a children. I let her enjoy her childhood life. At the same time i am teaching her what to do and what is not. We all herw parent. To guide and love our child.

Young adults! they should be treated as young adults with limitation, they are still a kid. As they grown up and they talk as adult and you feeling like a younger brother or sister, thats good it means they are finaly growing so if this happend let them teach you. Dont tell them stop acting like your the eldest, infact when you know(adult) yours wrong accept it dont let the child (14-19) down because they fully understand things because you treated them right as a parent or a older sibling.

lol, even us as adults when don't have the attention we should have by the ones in power...  I don't see it happening with the kiddos.

[sp564]

it could go both ways:

- Neuroscientists have shown that the adult cortex doesn't fully develop until approximately 25 years of age. Until then, inhibition patterns that are normal in older people (politeness, avoiding aggression, delaying reward) are simply less effective. This should be taken into account

- on the other hand, as a parenting practice, it can be helpful to challenge a child and speak to them as if they were older, but not necessarily always, nor necessarily all the way up to adult-like conversation

Should be treated just like everyone else. They're not retarded, and as long as you talk to them normally and give them the freedom to succeed and fail by themselves they'll come to you for advise and become truly independent.

As being a educational specialist, I am completely against treating children like adults. Children are children. That's why, Adults must treath them a child. Children must play games, must be fed by an adult . They do not need to care about adult's issues.

children have to live their childhood. children should not be treated as adult individuals. but it is important to remember that children also think like adults. they have brains like us. but their brains are not just as polluted as our brains.

[Nuex]

actually the child is treated according to the child's own age, 0-5 years old treat like a king, age 6-12 treat like a student, age 13-17 treat like a friend..

I think Children should be treated as individuals with immense potential to great good or harm. We should love them, never physically harm them, teach them to respect themselves and others. Then we may let them go and find their own way.

To treat them like Young adults would require them to be already adults, which they are not, this is why they are called childen. And is most of the world they are not legally responsible of their actions. As young adults they would have to go to jail for their mistakes.
