Do you believe that raising your kids more on the strict side is better than more to the lax side?

raising kids right
Native Texas Momma! asked:


Why or why not?

(When I say strict, I don’t mean the stereo typical idea of putting them in an over sheltered bubble)
Emoja- Right on. :) That’s pretty much my thoughts exactly.
SURFERG- I have no interest in being the “fun” parent. I have an interest in being a responsible, good parent.

I have known all too many “fun” parents that are just all about making their kids happy no matter what. That’s not what I stand for.

Yes, kids need boundaries and need to learn when to stop.

I think kids have to know that there are limits. It tells them that someone loves them and that someone cares what they do.

An authorative parent yields healthier mentalemotionalsocial child then other parenting styles would not change on whim know it shows time after time that an authorative as strict neccessarily.

I rather err on the side of being firm and consistent than being too permissive. It is possible to be firm and consistent and fun at the same time. One does not have to come at the expense of the other.
