have more rebellious kids.
How true is this?
The examples I know stamp this statement true emphatically.
Instead of being over-the-top-strict, which some parents can’t help doing and which results in er rebellious bachay log, in my opinion a gentle nudge in the right direction every now and then reminding of certain limits along with common sense from the ‘kids’ is ideal. Not that I am a parent, far from it. Just sharing my 2 cents.
Views?

In theory, this makes sense. In reality, it’s just not that simple.
Also, please correct your grammar.

You point out ONE mistake I made

Re: TOO stricter parents...
"too stricter" doesn't make sense.
Neither does the third sentence in your OP.

All of you read my words so carefully what can I say, its the testament to my cool clever posts I guess 
Third sentence is cool and sophisticated word-play!
I think you're right but then again...its so hard for single people to say this. The closest example I can use is my niece. I would be strict with her, yes. When its someone else's kids...you can think of so many ways where they could let their kids breathe but when you have your own...different story.
Just my thoughts
Re: TOO stricter parents...
I've seen examples of super strict parents whose kids ended up rebelling........maybe not directly to their parents' faces......but behind their backs.
I think other factors in parenting that can lead to rebelliousness include........parents who don't allow for open dialog with their kids where there is a healthy exchange of opinions and where there's ONLY a "My way or the highway" outlook.....even as the "child" grows older. As children grow older and enter different stages....I think the parenting has to change to adjust to the child's stage of development. You can't parent a 20-year-old the same way you would a 3-year old....the dynamics are different. Parents who are "strict" in the sense that they "over-shelter" (sheltering has limits as well) .....can sometimes cause resentment/pent-up frustration/rebellion in their kids. And I also think that......lack of consistency......is another common problem that can lead to rebelliousness. Saying one thing...but doing the opposite....not practicing what you preach.....having double standards when it comes to sons/daughters, etc.
***Then again, I think one also has to consider that teenagers, for example, are at that stage where they tend to be (not all) more rebellious...more influenced by their peers....more into taking risks....and trying to separate themselves from the parents to find out and even establish their own identity/individuality.

hahahaaaa "too stricter"
I am no english major but...gawahaha
Re: TOO stricter parents...
Heck yea.
Re: TOO stricter parents...
Being overly and zealously strict is totally counter productive. Physical punishment inflicts serious psychological damage.
Why not utilize the energy that routes into your strict disciplinary practices into reasoning and rationale? Why not convince your child as to how hazardous smoking is, instead of just making it off limits for your offspring.
Re: TOO stricter parents...
For certain things you have to strict for others you have to be lenient.
There is no universal guide for parenting . Certain things are out of line in our culture which should be enforced without a compromise but then there are things which if allowed for kids will not turn them into hoodlums or will have any bearing on their character.
For example , you cannot allow underage kids to go watch an R rated movie with their buddies , but they should be allowed to go and watch a clean movie.
Re: TOO stricter parents...
Heck yea.
But you don't sound rebellious at all :D
Re: TOO stricter parents...
i dont agree.
Although i can see why people expect kids to rebel against strict parents, its become a bit of a stereotype, and as one of these potential kids, i dont fit into it.
My dad has always been very much 'im right,you're wrong,nothing else matters', and i am not and have never been a rebel. Nor have either of my sisters. For me personally its cos its not worth the hassle, cos the things that kids veer towards as rebels never interested me and cos i like a peaceful life, though i dont get it lol.
Re: TOO stricter parents...
Not necessarily. I have seen quite stricter parents raising very gooder and responsibler children.
Re: TOO stricter parents...
^ agree,
it cant really be generalized its different for everyone
