[quote=Anonymous]It's not strict vs lax for me, but more authoritative vs authoritarian. Authoritarian parents stress obedience and use punishment to enforce their own desires. Authoritative parents stress reason and defined/consistent/clear limits. I give my children quite a lot of autonomy as well as clear, defined expectations. I rarely, if ever, use punishment, and we put a lot of energy into communication about emotions -- what they are, appropriate ways to express, how to accept all of them. My goal is building a person vs getting a particular behavior at a certain time. [/quote]
