[quote=Anonymous]The authoritarian parent sees no difference between demanding respect and demanding adherence to rules and boundaries. You absolutely need rules and boundaries and you absolutely need to insist your kid adhere to them. But respect is something that is given, not demanded. If you just demand respect, without modeling it back, your kid may refrain from cursing you out, but inside he won't respect you. Your kid is old enough to recognize hypocrisy and petty tyrants when he sees them. Respect has to be given willingly.[/quote]
