Do strict Parents drive their kids away?

I don't think so. I guess it just depends on the maturity level of the parents and the child's understanding. My parents were strict when I was small and in a way I understood why they were like that. It was for my own good and I am thankful that my parents brought me up that way.

it is the case sometimes. there are some parents who are over protective about the children those children just want to go away from this restriction. also very strict attitude drives them to v=break free.

I wouldn't call that being a strict parent at all. I would call that an abuse of power over your children. The fruit of false strictness is your children wanting nothing to do with you when they are older. I know many many people who were raised in extremely strict homes and they all are adoring of their parents. So there as to be a difference in what people think strict means. Maybe strict without love and strict with love is what the difference is. I really don't know. I do know I tried to be strict with love. I am close to my children but I know things could be better. I wasnt' raised with the good kind of strictness though and I didn't know how to create that in my family so I did the best I could. I must of did all right sense my children do want to be around me.

well there are some who do so, but we must not do it, because os the reason you said, we should try to be nice to them and teach them right from there very young age, the way of living like a well mannered person, how to behave thats most important,,,,

Hi Parents can be strict but at the same time they should express their love towards their child and also should be caring. Strict doesn't mean that unforgiving. Parents should understand children and let them have fun at the same time being strict. The children can be allowed to do things in their own way but the parents should have an eye on everything with out desturbing the freedom of the children. Their should be an open and friendly relation between children and parents so that the children can discuss and share every thing with parents and they will be ready to seek advice when they can not handle situations their own.

There is a way in being strict to a child. You can become strict by not scolding but firmly telling the child that what he/she is doing is wrong. You must make the child understand what the consequences are if he does the thing that he is doing. If we scold the child on the other hand and shout then the child will only grow to hate us and will try to avoid us thinking that we keep nagging all the time. So my advice will be to make the child understand what is wrong and right without actually shouting or scolding them.

There is a difference between being strict and being harsh and unbending. I was strict with my girls and now they are both grown with families of their own and i see them several times a week even though one of them lives over an hours drive from me.

There is a difference between being strict as a parent and giving your children the idea that they can never do anything right. I was a very strict father to four boys and though they sometimes objected when they were teenagers, as adults they realize that everything done was actually for their benefit. Their real father was very lax with the boys. Since I am their stepfather, it amazes me that they all still love me as much as any biological child could love a parent. I feel blessed Children whose parents think they can do nothing right should be ashamed of themselves. All kids can do something correctly and they should not have to spend their youth and energy trying to prove that.
