I thought this was interesting. I know. For every study that proves one thing, there are 10 other studies that prove the opposite. I really think this one makes a lot of sense. From the article:
"The study, published this week in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, found that kids who lack self-control feel more anxious if their moms favor a laissez-faire style of parenting. On the other hand, kids who have greater self-control, but whose mothers didn't allow them much autonomy, tended to be more anxious and depressed."
It also means that, believe it or not, there is no one size fits all to parenting, even among siblings. Ones parenting style must be adjusted for each kid at each stage and phase of their development. It is possible that one kid needs a more laid back approach to prosper and another may need tighter supervision and control. What's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.

Exactly. It all seems to make sense, but there are still people out there that believe that all kids can be beaten into submission, or that if you stand back and let them run free that they will be better off. Different kids have different needs. Even if those kids come from the same parents.

This is why parents need to adapt their style to their kids. Kids are different and need to be treated differently by their parents.
Kids need boundaries. It is up to parents where exactly those boundaries should be. Docile children may readily accept and stay inside their boundaries, even on their own, they might not try to push them but certain kids will push the boundaries where ever they are - but they need some kind of boundary.

Anybody who has been out in public or had a job where kids come in, often, already knows this. I can't believe they paid someone to do a study on the obvious.
