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?

I think they must treated as normal children for it accurates their age. At tgeir young age, they must be treated as their age for them to enjoy life as kids. Let's allow them to play and enjoy their lives as kids for there will come a time that they will reach the age of being adult.

Everything has its time. Children should feel responsible for their actions. Childhood should end in the kindergarten. There the child becomes an independent small person

Because sometimes adult like so much when they do such things to their kids but kids felt more pampered and there's nothing wrong with that provided that you won't do it over and over again.. there's certain age to do that but when they beginning to grow up they should learn little by little be responsible, to do the things they can and also freedom to choose to give them a chance to be adult in their own kids mind to express their feelings with certain restrain..strong but gentle in handling them so that they will learn the value of life and appreciate them as they grow up.

Treat them according to their age. Let them be happy or pained is needed but never make them feel hate. Let kids be kids. Let them feel that they are kids.

I guess it depends on the situation we treat kids as they really are but we also help to train them as young as they are to make simply decision for their own, be responsible at little task they can and be accountable to any wrong things they've done in that way they will learn at the same time preparing them when they become adult not pampering them out so much that they become spoil brat kids.

It depends on the situation. I prefer treating kids as young adults for them to learn and be independent. Making them responsible for the things that they have done . They must follow the house rules and have discipline. In terms of celebrating we should always treat them as children. They will be more happy that way. Them being cute are one of the nicest things of thr world that can make you smile.

Kids are kids and adults are adults, two different time steps in human life.

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.
They are called children because they're small. That doesn't mean they're any less intelligent than adults. Some of the most intelligent people I've met were kids who would've put the vast majority of adults to shame. There's absolutely nothing of relevance that changes once you become an adult.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 .
