Obedience in Children: Understanding Its Importance and Developmental Aspects

Abstract

Author(s):

Obedience in children is a topic that often raises questions among parents, educators, and psychologists alike. While some view obedience as a virtue that helps children navigate the world safely, others worry that emphasizing obedience too much may stifle a child’s independence and creativity. Understanding the role of obedience in child development can help us strike a balance and guide children towards becoming responsible and well-rounded individuals.
