Privacy is essential for life. Having time and space free from the "gaze of others" allows for psychological well-being, helping to relieve tension and providing opportunities to relax and concentrate. We all need privacy at certain point of time. But when it comes to privacy for a grown up kid we might understand the need for the same. Like an adult, a kid too needs some personal space to foster a sense of belongingness.

I always belive that nurturing a kid is a toughest job. It requires a constant watch on their activity to groom them for overall development. Children need privacy to develop into independent and healthy individuals, as it fosters trust, self-discovery, and a sense of self-worth. Providing age-appropriate privacy, such as knocking before entering their room or allowing private conversations, helps build a strong bond and encourages children to confide in their parents. While privacy is important, it must be balanced with parental responsibility to monitor their child's safety and well-being, especially in the digital world. Coincidently, I had a strange case that was highlighted yesterday. As it is a festival season, we have all the family members united at home. One of my teenage neice was active online late at night. While everyone was asleep she was operating her social media account. When her parent took notice of it, they created a ruckus, as it is unacceptable for anyone to be online so late without any reason. Now as she is grown up, she needed some personal space, but at the same time parent are supposed to make sure that the privacy were not misutilised in wrong way.
There's beauty in keeping some things just for you.
Privacy becomes important for a growing child, particularly from late childhood through adolescence, as they develop autonomy, a sense of self, and an understanding of their personal boundaries. Privacy helps children understand and create their own personal boundaries and limitations, teaching them what they are comfortable with and how to respect the boundaries of others. A healthy parent-child relationship involves respecting the child's personal space and life, creating a foundation for open communication and support. Respecting a child's privacy signals that you trust them, which encourages them to trust you and feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. As they grow, children need more personal space, such as a private room to change clothes or to be alone when they need to think.
While respecting privacy, parents also need to monitor their child's activities, especially online, to ensure their safety and to guide them through complex decisions. When we give our child privacy, it is a profound message of trust that encourages them to be honest and open with us.
In good faith - Peace!!
