I've been reading some experiences or stories about being strict to the child or setting rules like no overnight rule before marriage. Some will follow this rule or some may be rebellious with this kind of idea. It may sound really conservative but for me it depends on how you deliver that kind of being disciplinarian. Because there are strict parents that lacks of conviction and not believable at all meaning they are not credible enough and this may result that the child will trigger not to obey their parents. Some parents are obviously nasty the way they discipline their children and they are not a good example so how can the child will believe to their sincerity?
I believe we need to explain and what will be the repercussion rather than cursing them or even give a threat that is totally harsh at all. Make sure to know our child if what triggers them not to follow our strict rules.

When my daughter was a teenager, I noticed that some of her friends were allowed to do what ever they wanted. Including staying out till the early hours of the morning. I was quite strict with my daughter because I was worried about her, but her friend`s parents did not seem worried at all.

Good parenting is not an easy thing to do. Set realistic goals and expectations. Don't ask your child to do something you're not willing to do yourself. Many parents this easier said than done. Often they make mistakes they would much rather not allow their children to repeat, which can result in some not-so-good parenting.
