I think it's important to remember that sometimes kids don't, in fact, get to decide; pretending they get to decide is more of a problem, imo, than openly making the decision they have to live with. They have to get educated, they have to go to the doctor and dentist, they have to do lots of stuff they don't want to, and that's not wrong. But trying to pretend that they're choosing -- whether they would in fact choose to do those things or not -- can I think be damaging.
