Kids raised with harsh discipline tend to be more rebellious. Studies show that children raised with a strict parenting style tend to be more angry and rebellious as teenagers and young adults.
Kids raised with strict discipline tend to have antisocial behavioral problems such as rebellion, anger, aggression, and delinquency. Although some parents think that strict parenting produces better-behaved kids, studies show that such a parenting style actually produces kids that have more behavioral problems.
The psychological effects of controlling parenting can have negative, long-lasting impacts on emotional well-being and mental health. Studies indicate that children and adults can experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, and elevated stress.
Unfortunately, strong punishment leads to more misbehavior, rebellion and results in constant power struggles. This type of parenting does not support positive parenting. In fact, research shows that children with authoritarian parents perform more poorly than kids with permissive parents.
Strict parenting deprives kids of the opportunity to internalize self-discipline and responsibility. Harsh limits may temporarily control behavior, but they don't help a child learn to self-regulate. Instead, harsh limits trigger a resistance to taking responsibility for themselves.
Research shows strict parenting leads to sneakier kids with a lower self esteem. According to Aha Parenting, kids raised with strict rules tend to be more rebellious, and better liars. “Harsh limits may temporarily control behavior, but they don't help a child learn to self-regulate.
Second-born children have long been believed to be the troublemakers in the family. And now, there's scientific evidence to back up that theory. According to a study by MIT economist Joseph Doyle, second-born children are indeed more likely to exhibit rebellious behavior.
and directly from Latin rebellis "insurgent, rebellious," from rebellare "to rebel, revolt," from re- "opposite, against," or perhaps "again" (see re-) + bellare "wage war," from bellum "war" (see bellicose).
There are several main factors which precipitate a rebellion. The most significant is an overarching dissatisfaction with the current state of a person's or group's existence. This may be the result of marginalization, oppression, intimidation or violence.
Narcissistic or Controlling: Sometimes Linked, Sometimes Not
While these two types may seem closely allied and even interchangeable—narcissists can be controlling, and controllers can be narcissistic—they have different motivations, as well as distinct ways of justifying their behaviors.
The risk with constant criticism is that children will be more likely to redirect their behaviour to avoid that criticism, rather than because of a more intrinsic sense of the 'right' thing to do. This doesn't mean that we always lift them over their mistakes, and out of the way of discomfort.
Experts call this feeling or need to rebel psychological reactance. It's your brain's reaction when you feel a threat to your freedom or think your choices are being limited. This response can make you feel annoyed, panicked or angry when rules or guidelines are put in place.
But for parents with children who become agitated and stressed during confrontations, being strict may actually backfire, making the child more likely to act out in the future.
Early Teens (9-13)
Rebellion typically rears its head at the early onset of adolescence. This is the point of life where a child is beginning the transition into adulthood. Wanting to 'grow up', the child expects more independence and will oftentimes act out in order to gain their desired goals.
Distrustful, resentful, rebellious individuals avoid close relationship with others, provoking rejection and punishment from them. These bitter, cynical individuals are often unhappy. Artistic variants feel that closeness to others means a loss of creative individuality.
Negativism is a normal phase most children go through between 18 months and 3 years of age. It begins when children discover they have the power to refuse other people's requests. They respond negatively to many requests, including pleasant ones. In general, they are stubborn rather than cooperative.
While the youngest sibling is usually the funniest kid, mom and dad favor the youngest for a reason that might surprise you. According to a new study conducted by Brigham Young University's School of Family Life, the youngest sibling of the family tends to be mom and dad's favorite child because of perception.
In other words, an entitled person feels that they deserve something even though they haven't earned it—recognition, rewards, good grades, or a promotion. They see only their needs as important, and often feel the rules don't apply to them.
The results are quite clear: Parents who "overvalue" children during this developmental stage, telling them they are superior to others and entitled to special treatment, are more likely to produce narcissistic children -- who can grow up to become narcissistic adults, unless something is done about it.
To summarize, overparenting, lack of warmth, leniency, overvaluation and childhood maltreatment have all been associated with higher levels of narcissism.
According to some experts, children who have overly strict parents are quicker to lie—and they're better at it, too.
