答案 Should adults make important decisions for their older teenage children?
    Parents or other adult relatives should not make decisions on behalf of their older teenage children. Nevertheless, they must take an active part in the decision-making process of their offspring. They can use their knowledge and experience to prevent their teenagers from making costly mistakes while allowing them to gain confidence and learn from their smaller errors so that they will be able to make mature decisions of their own in the future.
    Teenage children often lack the experience and knowledge to make sound decisions, and here their parents’ input is valuable and necessary. Finding the right university or the right job after graduating from senior high school is an example for this. A teenager has not worked before and never attended a university, and thus his knowledge in both areas is extremely limited. Here the parents should advise their children and ensure that they make the right decision.
    In order to be able to make a sound decision in the future a young adult must gain confidence, and parents can help by engaging him/her in dialogue and providing him/her with all the necessary information. A child between the ages of 15 and 18 will be able to recognize the best arguments and reasons. Through the parents’ guidance he/she will arrive at the correct decision and feel as though it was completely his/her own. Not only will he/she continue to seek the reliable advice of his/her parents, but the self-confidence gained from this experience will make it easier for him/her to make decisions in the future.
    While parents should guide or direct their child, sometimes it is helpful to allow him/her to make a mistake. This will teach the child to live with the consequences of a wrong decision and also to ponder future choices more carefully. For example, a child might ignore his/her parents’ advice and pick a summer job that sounds very interesting initially, but he/she comes to loathe it almost immediately. This experience will be invaluable when the child grows up and has to find a real job.
