How strict is too strict?

In: Parenting and Children [Edit categories]

Answer:

Discipline is important, but it's possible to go overboard:

1. NO talking unless spoken to (like the military)
2. NO TV
3. NO Radio
4. NO Movies
5. NO dating until 18 or even 21
6. NO disagreeing
7. NO occasional junk food
8. NO friends
9. NO playing
10. NO present-day clothes

Some parents have "distorted" views on parenting, but there are 3 different levels of strict:

1. Lenient - over-indulgent
*2. Authoritative - this is the best way to be*
3. Authoritarian - too much harshness
