Many people treat kids like inferior beings, using "cute" voice, not giving them a chance to say their word, make a decision and such. Do you think such behavior might bring harm to the development of their personality, and they should be instead treated like adults, but just less experienced, so with understanding and patience?
It depends on the situation. I prefer treating kids as young adults for them to learn and be independent. Making them responsible for the things that they have done . They must follow the house rules and have discipline. In terms of celebrating we should always treat them as children. They will be more happy that way. Them being cute are one of the nicest things of thr world that can make you smile.
