How children raised by overly strict parents turn out later in life: The answer is an eye-opener

Many parents believe discipline, respect, and success can only be achieved when they raise their child with strict rules, routines, and high expectations. Even society views such adults as the ideal parents.However, more is not always better. When strictness turns into excessive control and constant criticism, the impact can be very different.In the 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind studied such cases where children were raised by overly-strict parents, and results the study found are quite concerning.The psychologist found that when children are raised under highly-authoritarian parenting, they grow up to be obedient on the outside, but they remain emotionally conflicted on the inside.

When you're the President of the United States, your family milestones don't just get handled in privatethey get balanced against global warfare and intense media scrutiny. Case in point: Donald Trump might actually skip his oldest son's wedding this weekend.When reporters point-blank asked him on May 21, 2026, if hed be making the trip down to the Bahamas for Donald Trump Jr.s wedding to Bettina Anderson, his answer was classic Trump: a mix of complaints about the fake news and a very real scheduling conflict.Hed like me to go. Its going to be a small private affair. Im gonna try and make it, Trump told the Oval Office press pool. I said, This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.' Thats one I cant win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I dont attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course.With his usual dark humour, he highlighted a brutal PR trap. Going to a destination wedding while managing an active military conflict with Iran looks incredibly out of touch to voters. But skipping your eldest son's big day? That triggers a whole different wave of criticism about where your loyalties lie.

Thought of the day inspired by the Bhagavad Gita: The soul grows quieter when gratitude grows louder

Our minds are so overloaded with our daily tasks and jobs to fulfill that we often forget to express gratitude in our everyday lives.Our minds are constantly filled with worries, comparisons, expectations, and endless noise from work pressure and personal struggles, so saying a little thank you is even missed out.People often search for the quiet and happiness in achievements, money, validation, or distractions, but still feel restless within. But all they forget is that when they start to focus more on what they have rather than asking for more, the problems lessen.This is why spiritual thoughts from ancient wisdom texts like the Bhagavad Gita continue to pull us out from troubled waters even today.The thought, The soul grows quieter when gratitude grows louder, beautifully reflects one of the core teachings of the Gita, that inner peace comes not from controlling the world around us, but from changing the way we look at life.Gratitude shifts our focus from what is missing to what is already present. When the mind stops complaining and starts appreciating, emotions become calmer, thoughts become clearer, and the heart feels lighter.The Bhagavad Gita repeatedly teaches balance, acceptance, detachment from endless desires, and trust in lifes journey. Gratitude naturally brings all these qualities together. It helps a person stay grounded during success and hopeful during difficulty. In a world full of noise, gratitude becomes a quiet form of strength. And that is where the real meaning of this thought begins.
