Just as we have had feminist, gay rights, and animal rights movements, it is likely we will eventually have a children's rights movement. Who will lead it, I cannot say.
I attempt to give as much freedom as I can to those around me- I find this makes my life much easier and more enjoyable than attempting to control them. This includes any pets in my life and any children. I am not a parent but have looked after young children on occasion. I prefer to leave decisions on what they do up to them, where possible. No doubt small children need guidance at times, but when they mature and are ready to make their own choices I like them to decide.
