Child opinion matters. They should be free to express their views and voice their thoughts. This helps to build their confidence while developing their trust when they speak up and are heard. They should not be restricted from sharing their thoughts unless it is inappropriate or offensive.
They have a voice too, and we shouldn't neglect it. Avoiding their questions, getting mad at them, or lying to them affects not only the relationship between the parents and the child but also the confidence and the courage to speak and express the child's mind to others, especially with their parents.
