JAKARTA - The parenting pattern is known as a tough style of educating children, full of demands, and emphasizing discipline and academic achievements.
In parenting, parents set high standards and limit children's time to play, socialize, or pursue personal interests. While aiming to form successful children, this approach often creates great emotional pressure.
Quoted by ANTARA, Many children who are raised in a pattern like this experience anxiety, feelings of guilt, and even depression. When affection is only given based on achievement, children grow up with the perception that their self-worth depends on their success, not on who they really are.

Rigid parenting styles also often limit exploration and creativity spaces. Children become too focused on achievement that they lose the opportunity to recognize themselves and develop other potentials outside of academics. In addition, excessive parental control can hinder the ability of children to make decisions independently.
Parents may apply this pattern because they want to protect their children from a difficult future. However, this approach can actually create emotional distance in the relationship between parents and children. Children feel loved only when successful, not because of their existence.
Therefore, it is important for parents to find a balance. Providing encouragement is necessary, but it must be accompanied by affection, empathy, and space for children to grow according to their own interests and abilities.
