Parents usually want what is best for their children and they Définition du sujet

often think they are entitled to have a say in their children's


choices : their hobbies, their studies and career choice, even
their friends. In the document DPS, Neil's father, who
appears like a control freak, believes that as a parent and
guardian he knows best and has the right to decide on his Annonce de la problématique
son's live and future. Thus the question which arises is the
following : to what extent should parents interfere in their
children's choices about their future lives ? Annonce du plan/articulation
This can be answered along two lines, the first being that
parents' interference in their children's choices can be
necessary, the second being that parents should trust their
children.
On the one hand, parents want the best for their children and Arguments nuancés pour
they feel concerned about them. They want them to be on the
right track so as to be happy. It happens that parents
dissaprove of their children's circle of friends or
acquaintances because the latter are bad influence and it is
after all parents' role to try and protect their children from
getting headfirst into trouble or spoiling their lives. It is also
parents' role to provide their children with a good education
and a good future, so if they believe their child is on the wrong
track, or is on the verge of dropping out of school or giving up
studying, they should interfere and give them advice or
guidelines.
However, on the other hand, parents should not be control Transition
freaks like Neil's father who is in fact trying to fulfill his own
ambitions rather than his son's.
Indeed, many parents like Neil's father tend to belittle or Arguments nuancés contre
denigrate their children. They do not trust them with making
the right decisions and believe they know what is best for
them. They do not realize that their children need to make up
their own failure and learn from their mistakes, fulfill their
own ambitions and desires in order to be self-confident,
develop fully as people and become wholesome adults.
To conclude, parents obviously have to some extent interfere Conclusion (synthèse)
in their children's choices about their future lives, but they
must do so with caution ; they should be concerned about their
children's welfare but not meddle in their lives. Indeed, they
should always take their children's opinions into account and
keep in mind that the latter are people in their own right and
should be treated as individuals with their own needs, wishes
and feelings.

(2ème partie, Le contre)

However, parents doesn't(pluriel) have to go against the decision of their kids. A child should make a lot of choices, according
to his envy and passions. I am well aware that a kid is immature to decide of his future, but parents doesn't have to oblige
(maladroit)his children to make something that (children est pluriel et he singulier) he doesn't want. In the sens of(traduction
littérale et incorrecte de "dans le sens que ..."), for instance, a parent forces his kid to do sport, as a tennis, because he had not
the possibilité of making(pratiquer un sport: to practise)) it when he was young.
For these reasons, parents should advise, but no oblige their children (à quoi faire? cod de oblige).

(Conclusion)

To conclude, i would say that parent(un seul ?)'s advices is very important especially when a child hesitates in his decision, but
this decision must be taken with his regard and envy. Unlike with the preferences of their parents, which are sometimes not
the same of (comparatif: the same as) their kids.

Firstly in my opinion, parents shouldn't interfere in their children's choice about their future lives. Indeed,
children should be able to choose their future lives because they can learn thanks to their mistakes. Moreover, a
child needs freedom to bloom because he must be able to live both good and bad experiences to acquire
maturity. Otherwise , later, they will become irresponsible adults !
Moreover, parents sometimes are too concerned to take into account their children's desires.
For example, my sister would not have studied in England had my mother interfered in her choice.
Indeed, my mother is sad because my sister lives far away.
However in my opinion, parents should interfere in their children's choice when children want to do something
dangerous. So finally, I conclude that parents shouldn't interfere in their children's choices unless it's dangerous.
For example in " Dead poets Society " , the play is not dangerous so Mr Perry shouldn't interfere in the choice
of Neil.
