Depends on the issue involved, on their level of maturity and so on!

when you have your own family then you can allow your children to give you and your husband input on how to run it.

As long as my children are children they dont hav anytin to say abt

our family decisions, i belive my husband and i can handle the situation perfectly by ourselves.

The more opinions, the harder to make a gud decision....

about things that concern thier lifes or education they have say no matter the age , we all learn no matter how old we r , it pays to listen even to the dumbest person u can learn , my child has freedom of expression and say for the rest of his or her life thats how i was brought , my opinions wishes and words are important to my dad and so is his to me, but if u think ur childs words or wishes are not important , den u will also b unimportant to that child

yes it depends on the issue , i am not talking of the parent discussing their buisness with their kids i am talking of tthe parents listening to their children , whee they have a wish or they say something that is bothering them , like in school education or in the family , i mean u shouldnt just dismiss the child cos he or she is a child , u sholud listen and take it seriously and do something reasonable about it, they r also humans and have problems and opinions , i mean parents should listen to their children and not think they are less  human just bcos they r small

I agree in wht u say here, but i tink Omorewa was talkin abt somtin else.
Like discussin situations where u will take an important desicion and lettin ur child hav a say in dat too.
Imagine u and ur husband are ready to relocate to an other country, will u let ur child stop u ?

thats why i said it depends , having a say i understand as being able to give ur own opinion not the final decision , but relocating, we will talk about it i think the child will be excited about it , i give him reasons  why this other place is better , , just like talking and having fun about no serious discussion, a child is very easy to convince

@truenaija- i agree with u,mainly on that highlighted words.


@flybaby- it's absolutely healthy to discuss your financial bizz or problems with your children(if they are matured enough).thinks like that and others makes children to be cautious,bright and discipline in ways they handle current situations and that of the future."in my own opinion"

Sobeit, well i dont tink so because a child has to b a child, let dem
b worry-less i no need my child to sit in school tinkin abt d financial problems and tins like dat.
Let him concentrate on d necesarry tins, and we (parents) will do d rest bcos we carry d responsibility.
dats my own opinion sha.
