Episode notes

Strict parenting, despite popular belief, does not produce better-behaved kids. Research shows that strict or authoritarian parenting actually leads to lower self-esteem and worse behavior in children. Harsh limits imposed by strict parenting deprive kids of the opportunity to develop self-discipline and responsibility. Children need loving and empathic limits to internalize self-control. By rejecting limits that aren't empathic, kids see control outside themselves and resist taking responsibility for their actions.

Dr. Laura Markham talks about what's wrong with strict parenting

Episode 1933: What's Wrong with Strict Parenting? by Dr. Laura Markham of Aha Parenting on Different Parenting Styles

Dr. Laura Markham trained as a Clinical Psychologist at Columbia University, but she's also a mom, so she understands kids -- and parents! She uses her Ph.D. to translate proven science and child-development research into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want.

As the founding editor of AhaParenting.com, she makes frequent TV and radio appearances and has been interviewed for thousands of articles by publications as diverse as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Real Simple, Newsday, Men's Health, Redbook and Parents Magazine.

Dr. Laura's relationship-based parenting model, which she calls Peaceful Parenting, is research-based and parent-tested. She's helped thousands of families across the U.S. and Canada find transformative solutions to everything from separation anxiety and sleep problems to sass talk and cell phones. She lives in Brooklyn, New York and is the proud parent of two happy, kind, responsible and accomplished young adults who were raised with Peaceful Parenting.
