• 🙍 What are the advantages and disadvantages of parents strict behaviour

Advantages of Parents Strict Behaviour

Parents Strict behavior comes with alot if advantages which I would be sharing with js in this great challenge therefore;

• Parents Strict behavior maintains law and orderliness in the home as the strict act makes every child law abiding and ensuring not to flout the laws of the home.

• Parents strict behavior triggers discipline on the part of the children making them act so disciplined at home and outside the home too. Which would make our society a better place to live in.

• Strict behaviour on the part of parents moulds a great and formidable future for the kids as they instill good intrinsic values into the kids making them good citizens to embrace the society too.

Disadvantages of Parents Strict Behavior

• Parents strict behaviour makes the children live in deep few which affects them negatively as they grow up, therefore finding it difficult to fit into the society.

• Low self esteem overshadows these kids as a result of their parents strict attitude making them grow with the attitude seeing themselves as misfits and finding it difficult to suit into the society so well.

• Kids who are controlled by strict parents might turn out to be anti-social as they possess low self esteem, they find it easy to segregate themselves from their friends, finding it difficult to socialize with others.

• Rebellion and thorough stubborness is the order of the day as these kids tyrn out to be rebellious and hardened, they go out being rebellious to other kids as a result of scolding them so much.

• 🙍 What do you feel if you were at the place of such children who have to face strictness.

---

---

Interestingly if I find myself among parents who show strong strictness, it would really cause lots psychological and emotional trauma in my life. It could make me have fears and feel less of myself because my parents don't believe in me that's why the scold me so much.

Furthermore, scolding would lead to depression and disappointment in me making me feel I can never please them, this leading to long term depression and negative effect on me society wise. Taking it to the society would make me feel I can never please any individual this making me depressed all the more.

Moreso, this strictness would reflect in my academics as I would always be scared to participate in activities in school, due to low self esteem, this strictness would make me to feel I cannot do things without being scolded, this making me scared and produce poor grades in my academics.

Finally, wild thought would gently creep in thoughts of running away from home and seeking a refuge in somewhere else too, when the pressure of strictness gets so much I guess I'll end up leaving home for peace of mind, free from strictness and pain.

• 🙍 As a child what do you expect from your parents regarding their behavior

---

---

As a child I expect my parents to correct me in love. Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he would not depart from it. I would love them to train me in the right way but with good drills and not harsh strictness.

Growing up as a kid, my parents never scolded us immediately we commit offense, rather they wait till midnight or early hours of the morning, they call you in love correcting you and instructing you on the right thing to do as the holy book guides us.

Finally, I'll love my parents to pray for me more often than not. It is not easy to behave well in some cases as there negative influences from peers, friends, society and social media. Therefore, prayers and correction in love would see me through making me stand out among my equals.

Depression & Disappointment

Kids could go into short term.or long term depression as a result of emotional blackmail affecting their psychological state of mind, making those kids feel disappointed in themselves as they cannot please you, you don't admire them this in turn leads to drastic and deep depression impressed in their hearts as a stigma.

Emotional blackmail makes these kids have long lasting fears which thy definitely grow with making them permanently fearing about lots of things, their minds get conditioned to fears due to the seed sown deep down in them by emotional blackmail.

---

The negative effect of inferiority Complex occurs to these kid. Emotional blackmail is so deep as it causes them feeling less of themselves as you tarnish their personality with this emotional blackmail making them slowly deteriorating and disappearing from from the actual people they are meant to be in the society.

~Conclusion~

Emotional blackmail is a deadly attitude which would destroy the personality of these kids. Correct these kids in love making them feel loved and enjoy more of themselves. Give them beautiful stories drawing out moral lessons from it this teaching them in better ways than being so strict on these innocent souls.
