Consequences of strict parenting !- 25-Dec-2023
Strict parenting, though well-intentioned, can have severe and lasting consequences on a child's development. It may lead to low self-esteem, validation seeking, reduced empathy, strained relationships, avoidance of parents, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. The rigid approach hinders a child's social and emotional growth, making it difficult for them to connect with others and stifling their creativity.
It may unintentionally encourage rebellion, creating a generational pattern of strict parenting.
Shama Soni, a philanthropist, emphasizes the importance of reassessing parenting approaches to foster an environment that combines discipline with emotional support, encouragement, and open communication for the child's holistic development.
