Deep dives

Drawbacks of strict parenting

Strict parenting, characterized by harsh limits and lack of empathy, hinders the development of self-discipline in children. It deprives them of the opportunity to internalize self-discipline and instead triggers resistance to taking responsibility for themselves. Furthermore, authoritarian parenting based on fear teaches kids to bully, limits their ability to cope with difficult feelings, and discourages independent thinking. Over time, children raised with strict discipline tend to become more rebellious, have difficulty regulating themselves, and may struggle with the parent-child relationship.
