Steemit Engagement Challenge | S14W3 | Parent's Strict Behavior and Children's Mental Health

I count it a great privilege to have you all on my blog, I appreciate your time, effort and every little use of your opportunity spent on my blog. I am @dave-hanny and I am so happy to show my participation at this moment on the topic: Parents' Strict Behavaiour and Chlidren's Mental Health. So keep reading down friends.

Parents plays a very important and vital role in our lives, I came across a book but can't really remember the title and author of the book. He write a lot about parents behaviour to their children and I could remember a cote from the book that says; "whatsoever a child becomes today it is as a result of the parents training or the parents up bringing of that child" so this cote touched my understanding on parents treatment to child mental health

One of the advantages of parent strict behavior to a child's growth or mental health is that, the child will be good as far as the parents teachershim rightly, such a child's behavior will be good. Such a child will also have fear and I mean fear for good and not bad because the parents beats him or her so much.

Secondly, parents behavior on their children is of good advantage especially when it comes to the public gathering whereby such a child's behavior can easily be noticed and when the child is good the parents will be noticed quickly again parents behavior on their children will make such a child to be great in the future it will make him look different, it will make them look unique and it will be obviously seen and known that he is well trained by his parents.

Yes for everything that has advantage must have a disadvantage, parent being strict on their children is somehow not too proper, parents must learn to watch their children, discipline in a very good manner but not in a horrible way.

Some parents treats their children so hard by beating them using iron hands which is not advisable, it makes them more stubborn the more. Beating a child is not bad, it is normal, it's a way of training that child but when the beating become the usual thing such a child becomes more stubborn.

Honestly, sometimes I feel so bad children sometimes needs freedom, there's a certain stage whereby a child will need some kind of freedom of speech, very much freedom of movement i.e going to places they want to go. Let that child go out to learn so when I see a child facing treatment I feel pity for such child because I know what the child is passing through alot in the heart.

As a child I expect some kind of things from my parents regarding my behavior, there was a time where I misbehaved but the way at which my mother reacted to it was something else and at that point I could not say anything because I was still growing up I was still a kid but now that I have grown, I correct them when necessary.

Now, I expect my parents to call me down and say words to me I don't expect them to beat me at this age infact they cant try that and I think that is the last I can take from them so in conclusion, dear parents, learn to understand your children, have your ways of affecting their life, try to understand your child's weakness and strength and with that everything will move smoothly without being strict on them.

I know I have never felt or experienced any negative effects of emotional blackmailing but when such happens, the child wouldd look so frustrated and tired of life. Having emotional blackmailing is a kind of reinforcement and it creates and hinders good relationships between parents and their children which won't help the child's mental health.
