Except that is his own decision.

Because a kid is a separate person, not an extension of your personality.
- gradstudent 13y agoI don't know if your comment is a troll or if you're simply dim. I assume troll. Still, I'll bite: The relationship between a parent and child is not a democratic one. As a parent you have a responsibility to make choices for your child until they can make them for themselves. I do not agree with letting kids decide which developmental activities they will or will not partake in or how they will do so. Is that clear enough for you, sunshine?
