Too much strictness may cause negative teenage development and child tendencies.

Common child tendencies caused by strict parenting would be tantrums and bullying. A tantrum is an emotional outburst mostly done by children. It is their way to seek their parents’ attention. Bullying is often committed by children with strict parents because it is their way to release their anger. They release their anger to helpless little children, as they feel helpless at home. Negative teenage developments can be also caused by strict parenting. Negative developments such as rebellion and promiscuity are common to teenagers who feel they lack freedom. Rebellion is their way of showing their refusal of their parent;s words and rules. They show their rebellion by sneaking out late at night past their curfew and by answering back. Teenagers act promiscuous to feel free as they yearn for freedom and affection from their family. They do these to defy their parents principles, it is their way to reach out for help and to ask for attention from their parents.
