Children are a very important part of the society because the future of every society lays on the shoulders of every child. They are responsible to carry on the legacy of their parents, and also, build a better future than what their parents built for them.
As children, we had dreams and aspiration. Not only that, we had that one person that motivates us to do better. It may not be a direct motivation, but an indirect one through their character or their accomplishments.
One interesting thing about children is the fact that they are always very curious. This could be a good thing as it paves a path to endless learning, but again, it could be dangerous because this same good thing can make a child harm themselves physically or by knowing something that they are not supposed to know at a given age.
It is an inarguable fact that if children are left alone without supervision, there is a high possibility that they will end up causing harm to themselves. They do this not because they intentionally want to harm themselves.
This post is an entry for Hive Learners prompt, Kids and privacy. In this prompt, I would write my perspective on allowing you kids have privacy. I would also share if I will give my kids privacy when I get married and have children.
I am inexperienced person when it comes to managing a family and raising kids, so, please, note that this write up is coming from the perspective of someone that has little to no experience with handling kids.
As humans, one major rights we have is the right to privacy. However, irrespective of the fact that we have the right to privacy, there is a certain age we need to do before we could make major decisions for ourselves given that we have parents and guardians.

With the way the world currently is, I am not a big fan of allowing a child have all the privacy they can get. As a matter of fact, why would they even need privacy if I'm their parent? what do they have to hide?
I would not be the parent to always have eyes on their kids, but then, I would also not be the type of parent that allows their kids lock their room door. I watch some foreign movies and I see parents knocking on their kids door before entering his/her room. Welp, I'm sorry to disappoint but I would not be such father.
I would respect my kids and give them space when they need it if they are going through an emotional time and the best way for them to heal is to be alone. However, aside that, I don't think there is anything like privacy in my house when I decide to build a family. I could give my female child a little bit privacy, but I can't say the same for my male child.
I'm saying this because I don't want my child to take the wrong step in life. I would want to know my child's friend cycle, and regulate them. I would want to know what they do online so they will not fall for scammers or even worst, start doing illegal things or watching inappropriate things for their age. You may call it being overprotective, but the truth is, that's how I was raised. I would love to raise my child in a similar fashion because such upbringing shaped me good.
Thank you for reading.
