"Steemit Engagement Challenge | S14W3 | Parent's Strict Behavior and Children's Mental Health".

Hello to my steemian friends. How are you doing, I hope you are doing fine. Today I am participating in an interesting contest Steemit Engagement Challenge S14 - W3:“Parent's Strict Behavior and Children's Mental Health". In this article, I am going to share my view about this topic.

Parents dedicate most of their lives for the better future of their kids and Impacting them with good values so that the child will be proud of his future. Most times because of this ideology, parents become very rigid in actions towards their children and this could create a relationship gap between the parents and kids whereby the kids aren't able to tell their parents about most of their encounters and feelings.
For a parent to be strict is also good but as we all know there should be a limit to everything including being strict.

##Advantages Of Parents Strict Behaviour##

When there are limits to parents strict behavior, and they are strict with caution, then their kids Will be truthful, honest and will always open up their challenge to them.

By behaving honestly, children will be instilled with discipline, being mindful of the friends and company they keep and also mind how they behave and relate socially.

Most times when parents are strict, it helps the children to be active in their academics and responsible in performing their house chores.

When parents have limit to there strictness, it will help to sharpen the children's responsible life.

##Disadvantages Of Parents Strict Behaviour##

Parents who usually show strictness to their kids Will only make there kids feel as if they are inferior, join bad company and friends, and also get spoiled because they will not have the courage to tell their parents about their most challenges. Due to the strictness of their parents, the children when approached by bad companies will have no other choice that to join and from then on start behaving indecently.

Therefore, I would suggest to parents that they should try to spend quality time to understand their kids. Children will learn easily when taught calmly and with love rather than being so strict or shouting on them.

Perhaps if I were in the place of children who had faced strict behavior from their parents, I would have being emotionally devastated and would have felt a lot of pain. Since parents are meant to give their children all the support they need and now if they are strict towards me, I would feel lonely. Children always feel confident and secured when around their parents.

If I had been treated like this, I would probably have been traumatized. It could affect my academics, it can also make people try to bully me and I wouldn't be able to do anything because I would be scared of my parents strict behaviour.

As a child what I expect from my parents regarding their behavior is explanation. Yes I know there is a reason for everything and everyone has their own view over things, I think it would be nice is after being strict the parents should later on tell the child the reason why they act that way.

Also as a child, it would be great if my parents will try to appreciate my works, cause the act of this appreciation would boost my moral to do more irrespective of how difficult it could seem. Parents have the ability of promoting confidence in their children and as long as children have their parents support, that support can never be broken.

Emotional blackmailing can affect your mental health status. It could lead to someone becoming too emotional and making the victim go beyond his own boundaries.
Emotional blackmailing is really a sensitive issue, though it gets the work done quickly, if a parent should blackmail a child emotional, the child might not want to keep sharing their feelings again.
