There are tons of kids out there who wish their parents were like other children's parents. However, those kids can't say that there is not a single redeeming feature about their own parents. Yet, they wish for the best of everything which often seems contradictory. The two types of parents that often get talked about is the strict parent who doesn't let their kid do anything and the permissive parent who lets their children run free. The kids of those two different kinds of parents tend to show characteristics that are different but just as harmful. For example children who have strict parents usually have no relationship between the child and parent; they also judge themselves very harshly. The child most likely would live a secret life to get away from the pressures brought to them by their parents. It makes these kids have harsh lives in the way that they can't relax and just enjoy life. On the other hand, the parent who isn't invested in keeping track of every detail in their child's life have children with very different personalities. Kids under the guidance or actually, the lack of guidance from these permissive parents are usually very demanding and spoiled. They have no self-discipline and no respect for adults. Many different outcomes can come from how a parent deems it reasonable to instill their values into their children. There is no perfect parenting technique and each different type comes at a price. Therefore before children blame their parents for not being perfect; think about how difficult it is to raise a child right. If there even is a "right way" to raise a kid.

Anna! Sweet blog I love the color scheme and background! Your post was very insightful! And the visuals are hilarious. Glad I took the time to read your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this was very interesting to read! It seems as if parent's can't be too strict or too lax. I guess they just have to find a happy-medium, but that is very difficult to achieve! Your visual is very entertaining as well! :D
ReplyDeleteReally like the orange background, since it is my favorite color! I agree 100% on your post! Neither extreme is good, but somewhere a little of both.
ReplyDeleteYour visuals made me laugh:) I love how you talked about different types of parenting skills and the outcomes of them. Very insightful:D
ReplyDeleteHey, your insight on the affect that different parenting techniques have on kids was pretty fascinating. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna! Your post made me reflect on my own opinions about my parents. I used to get angry at my generic Asian parents for being too strict and restricting my freedom. Now, I accept the fact that there really is some good in their parenting style.
