      1. According to Pamela Li, Ms, MBA, “But some strict parents are controlling because they fear being seen as incompetent parents if their children make mistakes. Such parents are more concerned about their own feelings and insecurity than their children’s well-being.”

      2. “They don’t want to raise defiant kids, and lenient parenting is often believed to cause defiance in children. So they turn to strict parenting. They believe that one can only be either permissive parents or strict parents. There’s nothing in-between.”

   1. According to Narayanan, “In an effort to be aware of every aspect of their child's life, and therefore control it, a lot of parents take the 'friend' approach. "The 'buddy-parent' trend is emerging in urban society to redefine the concept of effective parenting," says Jeetendra Nagpal, psychiatrist at VIMHANS. Unfortunately, buddy parents often turn overprotective due to lack of faith, and time for their child. "Effective parenting turns into anxious and authoritarian parenting," Nagpal points out.

      1. “…interpersonal rejection--especially parental rejection in childhood--leads children to develop a heightened sensitivity to being rejected. That is, the children become disposed to anxiously and angrily expect, to readily perceive, and to overreact to rejection in ways that compromise their intimate relationships as well as their own well-being. Additionally, these authors and their colleagues have found that rejection sensitive children and adults often interpret the minor or imagined insensitivity of significant others--or the ambiguous behavior of others--as being intentional rejection” (pg.3)

      1. According to “Ronold P. Rohner from the International Association of Cross-Cultural Psychology, “Coping subtheory recognizes that some children (and adults) are better able than others to cope emotionally with the corrosive drizzle of day to day rejection. Given this fact, coping subtheory attempts to predict and explain major factors that give some individuals the resilience to emotionally cope more effectively than most people with the experience of childhood rejection.” (pg. 4)

      1. According to India Today, “It's not that children don't need to be monitored or guided. Lulla says, "After a certain age, they need a different kind of attention. Parents need to be good role models. A lot of learning happens at home. A child notices how his parents behave and picks up from the environment."

According to Dr. Elizabeth from the A study done by Bender, Allen, McElhaney, Antonishak, Moore, Kelly, & Davis, 2007, correlated the use of harsh discipline with the ability of young adults to establish autonomy while maintaining a healthy parent-adolescent relationship. They found that the use of harsh discipline by both parents resulted in greater adolescent depression. They also found that the use of harsh discipline by mother resulted in adolescents who were less engaged and warm toward their mothers. This negative effect on the parent-adolescent relationship is found to result in adolescents reported significantly lower levels of self-esteem.

2. “These children may grow up with an inferiority complex and become rigid in their thinking. Because their parents are so critical of them, they may also be critical of their own behavior and the behavior of others. Children of autocratic parents may also be prone to peer pressure and being bullied. They may have difficulty with emotional intimacy later in life and may be prone to abusive relationships.”
