Strict parenting is a style characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. Parents who adopt this approach often enforce rules and expectations with little room for flexibility. They prioritize discipline and obedience, believing that structure helps children develop self-control and responsibility. This parenting style can lead to children feeling pressured to meet high standards, which may result in anxiety or rebellion. While strict parenting can instill a sense of order, it may also limit open communication and emotional connection between parents and children, impacting their overall relationship and development.
