• 1 When permissive parents dont pay attention to their kids the kids have bad parenting and lack the opportunity to have a great guider for their future. Parents are there to be guiders for their children. On a website called debate.org societies opinions more than one posted that parents should be guiders in their childrens education and be involved. For Example Posted By: EducatedAlfonso "I think parents should play a small role in deciding their child's future, because it is up to the parent to lead the way for their children. I believe parents should play a role in deciding their child's future, to a point. It is up to the parents to lead their child in the right direction and make some decisions that will help their children have a positive future. While I believe that parents should have a role in deciding the future, they need to keep their child's wishes and goals in mind. It should be a decision made together, when the child is old enough to make wise choices."
