Free Will Infringement, what is it?

[Diana]

If a mother tells their child to go to bed because it's their bedtime are they enforcing their will on the kid? Absolutely. Are they infringing on the child's free will? I don't think so.

I think there are degrees of that. In the past, and with indigenous peoples, children are/were let to be pretty free, with a "village" keeping watch, rather than the degree of protection parents must employ over children in a modern-day city/town situation.

This makes me think of schooling. I like the idea of Montessori schools, where children are allowed to do what they want to do, what attracts them, rather than teachers making them follow a syllabus or planned curriculum. 

Also, ideally, why shouldn't even a child sleep when it is tired, and eat when it is hungry? That would be most natural. But it just isn't practical for the parents or modern societal activities. A baby is different as it can't feed itself etc. 

No disrespect intended toward any parents.
