When children leave their home then they establish a new home and authority. Without divine institution there is no freedom. There is no freedom without principles. To maintain freedom we need law. If there is no traffic light there is no freedom to drive with safety.
Law protects freedom.
Children need to learn respect for authority so that a maximum number of people can operate in freedom. Respect for authority and property are basic concepts of life. The two principles of freedom and authority are not separate. Without authority of divine institutions there is no freedom. Children mistake exercise of authority for thwarting of their freedom to do things for themselves.
