In Estonia, one becomes an adult at the age of 18. However, children should practice decision-making earlier.
Kristi Paron says that adults must make good decisions. Young people have many rules.
16-year-olds can vote in local councils. They must attend school until the age of 18.
Pirko Tõugu says that decision-making is important. For example, choosing tea or coffee.
A child has the right to participate in decisions. This is a UN rule.
15–16-year-olds make decisions like adults. The skill grows slowly.
A child can practice safely. For example, choosing the color of socks.
Parents should provide more choices. A small child chooses socks. An older child chooses a hobby club.
Practicing decision-making makes a good citizen out of a youth. A child must be able to make small decisions.
