Search Results: strict parents

I have always dream of being a parent and raising my own kids.

However, recently... all I can think about is what type of parent I want to be. As an Asian, I grew up in a relatively strict household. I got scolded and beating but so far... I'm not sure if it has affected me as an adult.

I want to impact my kids positively... allowing them to grow up with freedom and confidence but also distinguishing what is wrong and right. Which method do you think is better?

I am only afraid that by being fierce (option A), it will make them feel insecure and rebellious or even growing up abusive and violent.

I follow approach B, it might not make such an impact and might raise them being complacent, thinking that by doing wrong... they might not be afraid of the consequence as I did not "punish" them enough. Or even growing up spoilt.

I want my kids to grow up being loved, having a lovely childhood and growing up well thought and groomed without emotional scars. Do you believe in caning or physical forms of punishment?

If after birth doctors discover that a child is suffering from a serious life-long condition, such as Down's Syndrome or Huntington's Disease as examples, should parents be given the option to have the child humanely euthanized as a baby or toddler, before they're old enough understand what's happening?

I Realise that even amongst people who thik this should be legal, there will be disagreement as to at what age or under what circumstances it should be allowed. So for the sake of argument select 'Yes' if you think this should ever be permitted at all after birth, even if only at a specific age, limited window of time, or under very strict circumstancs.
