Should we fear our parents?

Question

Answer

Not fear but respect. And they should be afraid to disappoint them to an extent. I've grown up to be an respectable person of society because of it

Answer

If your child fears you, you've failed big time. Fear doesn't teach a child cognitive thinking.

Answer

No. Fear and respect are not the same thing. & your child will be afraid to come and talk to you in their time of need

Answer

Definitely not. I'm 32 and still afraid of my parents and that's a problem.

Answer

Why would I want my child to EVER fear me? Where is the logic in that?

Answer

I rather my child fear snakes, spiders, and bears, not mom, dad and relatives!!

Answer

I will teach my child to respect me, but not to fear me.

Answer

No no no. I grew up in that kind of environment. While I think I'm generally pretty well adjusted, I think it has really contributed to my depression and anxiety. And my relationship with both my parents is very strained. I would never ever want my children to be afraid of me! :(

Answer

No if I fear you why would I trust you or confide in you. Children should not fear their parents. There are ways to get your child to do what you want that don't involve making them fear you.

Answer

Nope. If a parent raised their child to fear them i would be calling social services
