How to Spot Insecure Parent-Child Relationships

Parents feel as though disciplining their children will cause them to rebel- many parents who act like friends feel as though their children will rebel against them as they grow older; these parents do not grasp the concept of who, the authorial figure in the relationship should be, they juggle control around. These parents would rather turn the cheek then have to face confrontation, they believe in giving the child whatever he wants and letting the child do whatever he wants, just to keep him quiet. Children who are raised in this manner will grow up to run the house and have no respect for their parent or society. These children will not be able to find their place in society because they won't know how to follow and live by rules.
