My parents used to strict with me. Especially they were strict to study. When I get bad grade at school they get so mad at me. They didn't let me go outside until finished my homework. I had to study so hard everyday until graduate elementary school since I was little kid. My parents also forced me to enter private school to get in Kwansei Gakuin junior high school. Because it's more opportunity to get job. I tried to study so hard. Fortunately I passed entrance test and I go to Kwansai Gakuin University now. I used to think my parents were annoying but I really appreciate how they brought me up. I would grow my children up as same way.
"Cruel to be kind" is another English expression. We need to be strict with kids sometimes, I think.
