Even though constant nagging is difficult to put up with, experts claim that strict parents actually raise more successful children. No matter how difficult you think your child was, one day you will probably thank your mother for it.
One professor from the University of Essex conducted a study that involved more than 15000 children aged 13-14 for a period of 6 years. The professor, Erica Rascon, stated “the measure of the expectations in this study reflects a combination of aspirations and beliefs about the likelihood of access to higher education declared by the majority of parents, in most cases the mother.” The study showed that successful people have highly demanding mothers.
The children that were more confident and secure had strict mothers with high expectations. The study showed that premature pregnancy in girls with persistent and nagging mothers was 4 % lower compared to the other children. These children were more likely to finish college and get a good job, no matter how unrealistic it sounds.
Professor Rascon also said: “In many cases we have success doing what they believe to be most convenient for us, even against our parents. “But no matter how much we want to avoid our parents, any recommendations form influence, albeit subtly in the decisions we make, but we believe that they are extremely personal”.
Kids with strict mothers consider them an enemy, however later in life they realize it was for their own good. Sooner or later, you will realize that your mother raised your right and that she prepared you well for what comes in life.
