I've seen too many “problem
children” raised in both kinds of households and too many “ideal
children” raised in both kinds of households. Any blanket
statements, besides being disproved through research also are clearly
not true from common observation. Unfortunately our prejudices cloud
our vision. If we want to see “problems” or “ideal” as being
related to permissiveness or strict upbringing, we'll see only those
cases that confirm our prejudices.
Research generally shows that the
two extremes are both problematic. [one interesting side example:
children from permissive households that do drugs at all tend toward
hallucinogenic type drugs, and children from harsh households that do
drugs at all tend toward Heroin based drugs.]
For this blog I'd like to focus on
some aspects of moral environment and its affect on the children.
