Measuring Maturity - Understanding children's 'evolving capacities' [English]
Children face a confusing array of minimum ages at which they are deemed capable of making decisions for themselves – some of them potentially life-changing. The age at which children can have a say in their medical treatment, for instance, or get married or vote, or choose or reject a religious belief or faith, varies significantly across and even within cultures. The legal minimum age may or may not reflect what children themselves feel they are capable of. - Mesurer la maturité : Comprendre le développement des capacités des enfants
