Not strict as in beatings; strict as in limited screen time, set bedtime and morning call, curfew, chore schedule, healthy diet and mandatory regular exercise, no smartphone, etc. We have a 15-year-old son.

    I don’t think that’s what ‘strict’ means. ‘Strict’ is not a descriptor of the volume or quality of guidelines, but of what the tolerance for failing to adhere to them is.

      I suppose so, but my parenting style has been described as strict by the people around me; so in my opinion it also has a colloquial meaning.
