[quote=Anonymous]More discipline when the kids are young (toddler through elementary school years) to set up good habits, establish baselines of what is acceptable for family dynamic and interactions, then less micromanaging and pressure on the kids as they get older (middle and high schools years). It's not always intuitive but when you do not coddle kids when they are young, you establish a structure from which you can let go and be more relaxed when they get older. Some parents (not only Americans) get it in the reverse: coddling and "gentle" parenting with toddlers and young kids, but then pile up the pressure and high expectations as they get older. That does not lead to well-behaved and happy kids. [/quote]
