How To Get The Best Education Possible: Tip#13

The parent that is too easy or not consistent with discipline usually has a lot of problems keeping their child under control.  The type of parent we will look at today is the parent that is too harsh  in punishing their child and are very controlling.

Tip #13: Don't be too hard or controlling as far as disciplining your child.

1. A parent that is too harsh or controlling has the child afraid to say or do anything.  The child usually obeys the parent only out of fear, not because it is the right thing to do.

2. The parent usually makes all the decisions for the child and the child's opinion is not heard nor does it matter.

3. A very controlling parent usually has harsh consequences and will sometimes embarrasses the child in front of others. 

4. This parent that disciplines too hard usually punishes and reacts while angry.  There can even be physical and/or mental abuse in some cases.

5. The controlling parent a lot of the time has unrealistic expectations for their child and will punish harshly if expectations are not met or fall short.  It is hard for the child to satisfy or make the parent happy.

6. This type of harsh discipline invites rebellion and unhappiness.  Many times when the child is a young adult and out of sight of the controlling parent they go wild and make unwise decisions because they are not use to thinking for themselves.

7. Children who are treated harshly many times are mean and angry.  Sometimes they have problems making friends and can be known as bullies.

As a result of being to harsh and controlling, the child can be rebellious, angry, and unhappy.  Make sure you're not controlling your child through fear and anger.
