How strict must be parents to their kids?
My question is not as simple as you think. It involves an element of psychology. Parents do expect their children to be obedient, respectful, responsible, well-behaved etc. But what we, as parents, need to understand is that all the kids are different. Their attitude, behavioral patterns, patience etc. do matter a lot. One should study their kids properly and maneuver them accordingly. Just like it is that you cannot drive a four-wheeler with the same ease as you drive a two-wheeler, you may not be able to manage every child similarly.There is no doubt that parents should be strict but to what extent and how is a very important point that should be borne in mind. Family background, daily life situations at home, inter-personal relations, and similar factors also play an important role in molding the attitude of a child. Being strict can have positive and negative effects. Parents must note and analyze the effects regularly and change their strategies according to the effects our strictness and enforcement have on a child. You must be strict, but it should neither be harsh nor forced.
Can I have your views on this point based on life situations, mental abilities and attitudes of parents and children?
