Childrens opinions should matter more
¸·I believe that children's opinions should matter more·¸
Persuasive argument!
Children's opinions are much more important than you think, quite a lot of children's ideas and opinions can be used depending on where you are and the argument. Many children struggle when telling people about their opinions, for example if a child would like to explain their idea to an adult it would be so much easier for them to speak to you if adults and some people listened.
Children's opinions can be very important in many different situations, You could say that children don't know a lot of the complexities of many situations compared to adults. But children will always know what they like, dislike and hate. Children under the age of 18 have always had to show respect according to adults. Respect is always a good thing to have for people but what if someone is 23 or 30 whats makes them so important that they don't have to show respect to children's or anyone's opinions?
Kids find it difficult to explain and be able to articulate their feelings and beliefs. A Lot of children's ideas can be quite unreal and confusing but therefore adults should still listen to them. Different kids have different opinions and Every child will agree to disagree with alot of other children, some kids have pretty big ideas and pretty small ideas but they both still deserve the same amount of respect.
Children can be very argumentative in some situations whether they agree or disagree with your opinion. You can't judge a child's beliefs, depending on what their beliefs are. Letting a child explain their opinion to you will slowly improve their social skills because they will begin to become more confident in themselves while speaking.
In conclusion, I think that children's opinions should be heard and listened to more, it's a waste of kids' strong opinions and great ideas. to not listen to them. I think these three reasons prove that children shouldnt be unheard, have I convinced you on this argument?
For writing we had to make a peice of writing for persuasive writing, this peice of work was quite a while ago because we did persuasive writing last term. I did make heaps more but out of them all this is my favourite one. This writing peice explains why I think childrens opinions should matter more than they should. I have 3 points an introduction and conclusion, I hope you enjoy reading this blog post and have a nice day! :)
