Post 6
There was no maltreatment towards me in my childhood but I did have friends that their parents were very strict on their child and their sports, or authoritarian style of parenting. Even at a young age the parents would be upset if they did not do something right or if they had one mistake. For example in dance, a friend of mine would have to practice her dance until it was perfect for her mother and then she was allowed to go on stage and do her dance. But that was the only way she could go on stage to do her dance and then if she messed up on something while she was on stage her mom would not talk to her until later that day. It got to the point that she was scared to even talk to her mom after a dance because she did not know what she would say or what she would think of the dance she had just performed.

ReplyDeleteI have had friends with very strict parents as well. It is a sad thing to watch. One of my friends would play an excellent basketball game, but his parents would not be happy with his performance. They would even yell at him throughout the game, which embarrassed him when it first started happening. The sad thing is, though, that after a year of this, he didn't even notice his parents yelling. I don't know maybe that's a good thing??
I knew kids like that in highschool. At lot of the guys on the football teams parents were very strict and put a lot of pressure on their sons causing them to be more stressed out about playing the sport than just having fun.
