What is your view on this subject?
At what age should elders start to respect a kids privacy.i.e. not to go through the kids diary, computer, cellphone, communications etc etc
Do you think there is a moral/ethical question if you go through kids’ stuff?

When they are 21
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
So u think its alright to ‘invade’ it till they reach that age?
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
Im gonna party it up with my kids.. be that super cool mum yknow raving every weekend and going to some wannabe gigs. Help (troll) them in front of their crushes. Aint no need for privacy then. 
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
As kids, I’ll check just to make sure they’re on the right track. Kids don’t even know what privacy is at that age, so not a big deal.
Teenage years are where problems arise. Depending on my strong intuition and how I raise them, I’ll be familiar with how they react when they’re upto something. If I ever feel the need, I’ll go into their bags / gadgets whenever I need some reassurance. Diaries are the only things I won’t be touching. Almost all of their belongings will be under my mercy until I am convinced about their decision making skills and maturity. My roof, my rules.

when they realize they have a head on their shoulders.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
i would never read my kids diary at any age. but i would definitely go through their celphones and computer if i could, only because , i dont trust other people, plenty of disgusting monsters out there who can take advantage of your child’s innocence. maybe until they are 16-18. after that, they should know better, if not, i did a terrible job as a parent.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
I still don’t have any privacy. My kids are’t getting any privacy until I live. aisi ki taisi.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
As a desi, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
yes, there shouldn’t be anything worth hiding till that time
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
Until a certain age and maturity, I think privacy is a privilege not a right.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
When they start paying their own bills.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
It shouldn’t depend on age, there can never be a right age where all kids mature and realise right from wrong. Every child is different and therefore different parenting techniques will need to be used. Privacy has to be earned.
LOL we all were kids once and must of hidden things from our parents. Our generation is already much more tech savy so we all know what things can be hidden and how they can. Therefore we have to be extra vigilant and cautious for the following generation.

I think a certain level of trust should be given but it also depends on their habits and behaviors. I wouldn’t feel bad going through things if I had a reason for concern. Otherwise, I think open communication is more important so it doesn’t have to get to the point of invading your child’s privacy within reason of course. If you suspect something dangerous, obviously you gotta do what you gotta do.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
We respect our daughters privacy a lot, but my wife has built such good friendship with them that they share each and everything with her. No need to invade their privacy as they dont keep anything private from their mother.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
If they are not teens yet its understandable.
Re: Children’s ''Privacy"
I have pondered over this for a long long time and spoken to so many people around me to get opinions. I was raised in an environment with full privacy privilege but I know I was stupid at times and not because of me all the time but because the world is really sharp out there , I grew up missing the “parental hawk eye”, hence the reason I dont believe in giving 100% privacy to my kid until he grows up responsible for his own actions and becomes independent.
Before then, I will pick my battles and choose when to invade and when to let it be. I do feel staying really close to kids if good stuff , but there are times when a kid may not feel fully comfortable discussing some matters and that is when a communication gap arises. Privacy invasion can help sometimes but not to the extent that the child feels deprived of their own space and life.

TLK if you don’t mind me asking. How were you able to get your children to trust you in telling you things and not feel uncomfortable about it?
