▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that parents should set strict rules for their kids if they want the kids to succeed in the future life. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. I believe that strict disciplines can discourage the children from fostering their independence and deteriorate the relationship between parents and their kids.
To begin with, if children were brought up under rigid rules, they could not be independent from their parents. To be specific, if only they follow the rules set by parents, they will have a difficulty when they choose something important such as a major and a career. According to a study done by Seoul University, many students who have set and followed their own rules since they were young get good grades in school and build their career successfully.
On top of that, strict disciplines can make worse the relationship between parents and their children. This is because strict parents generally force their kids to keep the rules and sometimes give a punishment to them. Also, due to this, the children can be bruised. Let me bring up my friend's story as an example. Until she was in an elementary school, she had followed well the rules made by her parents because she didn't want to make them angry. However, when she became a young adult, she thought that the rules were not reasonable, so she began to break it. Even sometimes she had a fight with her parents. She says that her childhood was unhappy.
To sum up, firm disciplines can not allow children to be independent and worsen the relationship between children and their parents. In this regard, I believe that parents' strict rules are not needed for kids to succeed in life. |
