Do Strict parents raise the best children., Lets discuss

Every strict action must be backed up with love, if it's just being strict all the time, may be traumatic for the child. In all, being strict gives you the best kind of kids. No overly pampered child becomes a good person, check it.

Averagely to a large extent...there is no manual to patenting but been strict helps reduce indiscipline act from children.
Even animals disciplin their offsprings.




Wittyness.

No! Oftentimes, they raised children that can't face the society. Though disciplined, they are not bold enough to stand against challenges

It depends on your definition of strictness.
If it means restricting your child from socialization, then that's crazy.
If it means not allowing your children talk about their personal challenges to you freely, then that's more crazy.
If it means always sparking them for every little thing they do, then that's so crazy.

Am yet to see the advantages of strict parenting. It full of disadvantages.
They don't raise the best kids.

The best way to raise a child is not by decree (strictness) but by example (inspiration).

A reSTRICTed child is the result of "strict" parenting, and such children often run amok once they taste freedom.

The best child is an inspired child. An inspired child already knows what he/she wants and will not bow to pressure to do otherwise.

Let's learn to inspire our children.

They raise shiit children children who later become naive, face bigger challenges in life they can't cope they struggle to keep a relationship beacuse they were not brought up with open affection... But u see parents who aren't strict but disciplined nuture the best children but u see those our parents who believe by telling a child to sit down at home controlling the lifr of the child as if u created the child mold the useless set of children... My father is strict till now we still have verbal argument cuz he believes by being strict is a being a responsible parents...

Like everything it has it merits and demerits. You can try to find a balance on the sort of guidance to offer to your kids, being strict can be very detrimental so also being soft. Parenting has no formula in my opinion every child requires different approach. Parenting hard o

At the entrance exam, we were asked to re-arrange letters

'PNEIS' and form the name of an important human body part which is most useful when erect.

Those who answered 'SPINE' are doctors today while rest are on social media.

Sadly, the ones on social make more money that the ones that ended up in the hospital

This is a very important topic. We know no real formula for child upbringing but the question is which of these options has a better chance of raising kids that are morally upright?

there is which is proper connection and intitutive research right from the sensorimotor stage try and study their behavioral pattern and pray along for guidance to teach u how to raise the child properly, for me children also have brain don't beacuse u are parent not communicate with your child.

Not in all cases. Sometimes, being overly strict could make a child rebellious and highly inquisitive, thereby making them deviate from their parents initial strict upbringing.

There should be a balance.

So would not raise ur own kids with love and the same time being strict, given your experience? I was raised by a strict father with affectionate mother, who would explain my fathers actions and that gave me balance.

No child was born with a parental guidance manual. Raising a child is a trial and error process. Child wey go wayward go wayward even if he/she has a Pete edochie as a father and Mama Gee as a mother.

They raise cock-sucking Biitches and Bitch-ass niggas

They raise the best liars

Three factors raise a child
1. Family
2. The Child's mindset
3. The Society

There are many cases where the family(parents) do their best but the ill society or stubborn mindset gets the better of them.
Just pray for good children. A prayer every aspiring parent should pray.

most important is love a d teach your children respect, values, discipline and less extravagance, I might be a terrible dad than my own dad but will try not to be strict at all... Though am vicious but no strict, I don't ground children

What ever you are, you will give birth to it, strict or no strict is in the blood, you will know your child better if you give him or her a free hand, many of them who are well discipline are those who end up been a cult member in school. Mostly strict parents rise the most corrupt and emotional children. Don't give them hard hand give them correction with the life you (parent)live and is still living it not by force example.

Not always.
It depends on how the mind of the child is configured.
Some kids just need love to come out good while others like the younger version of me while growing up need gbas gbos contantly to reset our memories to do good things.
It all boils down to understanding your kids and the best way for them to learn.
Some kids learn by rewards,others learn by punishment....

there is higher chance

Please in all you do that if you spare the rod you spoil the child and this rod must not be a stick or belt, this rod has to be something that would give them something to think about when they want to go astray. A father or mother must be strict, that way they will understand one very important rule in life, which is action and consequences. A child is not guaranteed to be good in life because the parents are strict or were strict but when the child is in prison or in a dark place foe his actions, there is hope of redemption because he would his parents. Above all children need spiritual guidance.

it helpful to differentiate between discipline and strictness.

1) Define Discipline
Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior. It involves the development of habits that are conducive to achieving goals and objectives. Discipline is not just about punishment or correction, but rather a way of life that promotes self-control, responsibility, and ability.

Discipline is essential in all aspects of life, from personal to professional. It helps individuals to stay focused, organized, and motivated in achieving their goals. Discipline also instills a sense of respect for authority and the rules that govern society.

2) Define Strict
Strict refers to a rigid adherence to rules or standards. It is characterized by a lack of flexibility or leniency in enforcing rules. Strictness is often associated with a no-nonsense approach that prioritizes obedience and conformity over individuality and creativity.

While strictness can be effective in certain situations, it can also be detrimental if taken too far. A strict approach can lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, and resentment, especially if it is perceived as unfair or unreasonable. It can also stifle innovation and creativity, leading to a lack of growth and progress.

Not necessarily!

They raised the most emotionally broken and traumatized children

I disagree. Every child is unique and different. Some children require iron hands for them to toe the path of success as they will never yield or respond to soft talking.

Children are Humans and as a result cannot be put in a box and be given the same treatment while the parents expect same response.

The main thing is, understand the kind of kids you have abd use what is most as appropriate to shape him or her.

This your question can't be answered on nairaland. It can only be answered after a study is carried out.
First how do you tell the best children? What metrics would you use?
Are you talking about the most successful in future or the most moral? Or maybe you mean the best at school work?
What are your indicators for choosing the best children.

Correct a child with your left hand (Strict Code of Conduct) love and respect him with your Right hand ( Parent Child Communication, Love, Caring and providing their basic need) This is why the Bible says spare the rod and spoil the child.

I cant totally disagree with u, but from my limited experience, they raise the best children....

All my guys, classmates and close associates raised with steel hands are appreciating it today....most of them are out of the country with cool professional careers and the ones in Nigeria are doing very well in their various fields...though some are still hustling, but they are well behaved and understands that there are consequences for actions and inactions.....

the ones raised with free hands are the ones selling their papa lands today!.... not making this up bro...

I further observed that most of them are from parents who are teachers and educators generally......they were very strict with us, ensure that we study hard and try to make us chose professional career path.....

A lot of us are just importing some fractured parenting styles from the west and that is why their society is crumbling in of morals today...
and mind u, these Americans still whoop the asses of their children especially the northerners...dont fall for those shit u see on social media
