Parents Should Make Choice for Children?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Parents should allow children to make their own choices rather than determine their children’s future for them. (Family)

According to a recent statistic on the Internet, the number of parents who determine their children’s future is greatly decreasing. And that’s where contradiction arises. Some people insist on making choices for their children, considering that their children are too young to make reasonable decisions, while others argue that doing this is harmful because children will become less independent and responsible if their parents always make decisions for them.

At first, his parents strongly opposed it, believing that it was hard for an Asian to excel at such sport and it would have adverse effect on his academic performance.

Thus, I realize how important it is to let children themselves make the decision.
