67、In my opinion, deciding everything for children does not help them but harm them in many ways.Firstly, it will make children lack independence, which is unfavourable to their development in the long run.Secondly, in many cases parents decisions go against childrens personal ideas and interests，which will make children form resistance and naturally influence their growth. I do believe to grow to be independent is a natural way for everybody.Parents should give us chances to make our own decisions.They may help us make choices instead of replacing us to make choices.Yours_sincerely， Li_Hua
