At what age can a child make a 'decision'?

A decision about what? Before we launch off, let’s refine that question a bit.

There is often reporting in the press of children trying to juggle the needs of both parents after a marriage breakdown. Yes, you heard right – the children often do the juggling – emotions, loyalty, sheer tiredness, change of homes. Unfortunately the decision often seems to pay little regard to what the children want. ‘But they are children’, you say? ‘They are too young to know what’s best for them’.
