Permissive parents may do many things right, but they don't manage to give their children enough structure or limits. New research shows the link between permissive parenting and self-control problems in adulthood. Cultivating an internal voice that holds you accountable with compassion can allow you to structure and limit yourself far more effectively.

This indeed is a thought-provoking article that makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing, @Adeeba Tariq.
Reading it got me curious about the other side. What about the children that are raised by strict parents? Chances are, they will have the internal voice, but it won’t be filled with compassion and understanding either. It will probably hold them accountable, but with guilt, whenever something doesn’t go according to plan.
What type of voice do these children internalise?
