Parents ... a guardian .. our master.

Advantages

Parents are strict for our welfare . When parents are strict then it keeps children in control. In initial stages of life , children are immature and they don't know what is right or wrong . They barely have any capability to distinguish between what is for their betterment and what is for their damage . In that case parents' strictness is what saves them . The reason why they need to be strict and make certain rules for children to follow them without much explanations is that the youngsters don't have the capacity to understand the facts and logics . Hence , need certain ideologies to stick on them .

Disadvantages

It gets really dangerous for a child when the parents in themselves aren't capable of being a PARENT. Initially , parents just superimpose their ideologies which may be wrong or right .... which may be of very orthodox kind . This makes children's mentality ill . They opt for the exact same what their parents had instead of something better and different according to the era . Also their personal thoughts and opinions die .

๐Ÿ™ What do you feel if you were at the place of such childrens who have to face strictness?

Well , my feelings would completely depend on what kind of and the extent of strictness I am put into . If their is very little strictness or maybe genuine strictness under which I don't feel violated , disrespected and publicly exploited then I think .. I won't have much problem with that . This is because I understand parents have their own thinking and as our saviors its natural for them to superimpose some of their ideologies on us , but definitely if my dreams and self esteem will be killed then I don't think I would be able to bear such strictness.

๐Ÿ™ As a child, what do you expect from your parents regarding their behavior?

In simple words , I expect UNDERSTANDING and RESPECT. That's it .
I expect my parents to understand me and in return expect me to understand them . When one is living in a home .. in a house .. in a family then that means there is no boss - employ relationship . Their has to be the feeling of oneness which comes only when everyone is satisfied and everyone's demands are understood politely. I know that I have to obey to some of the rules of my parents even if I feel dissatisfied with the logics behind them and the same they have to do . Its not about fighting for our rights , its about caring for everyone's happiness. So I just expect them to fill little understanding and respect in me so that I may be able to give the same back .

๐Ÿ™ What are the negative effects of emotional blackmailing?

COUNTLESS !

There are countless effects of emotional blackmailing ... and especially on children. Parents must never do this because it leads the child in a very dark phase from which it gets almost impossible to come out . It leaves trauma .. degrades self confidence , destroys self belief , destroys dreams and self respect , makes them feel like gaslighting , fills them with self blame and what not .
Parents think that they are just scolding or maybe the situation is just a matter of time . But the thing is that they are actually printing that darkness on innocent paper of their child for their whole damn life . A child never forgets it .. never . It gets depressing , suffocating and suffering .

When children does this with their parents , then it breaks them because they feel betrayed by someone they have given their life , needs , wants and everything. No child should ever do this .
