Content: They do not understand how to take responsibility in their own hands and lead it successfully. Such kids end up loving the hierarchical authority based institutions and systems, where following orders strictly satisfies them and they feel they will be safe and accepted. Such acceptance of authoritarian systems leads to kids becoming submissive in nature. They will fear trying out new things or experiment with newer techniques, and instead, prefer to remain in the comfort zone of rigidity and rules. Mental Effects
Since their behaviour is either rewarded or punished, most kids grow up believing in a black and white nature of the world. They fail to see the complexities and confusion present in nature and in people. Due to a narrow outlook towards life, such kids rarely have their own thought processes or philosophies of living their lives. They simply stick to what they have been taught and resort to living life traditionally without making space for any new views and opinions to exist. Emotional Effects
Since showing any strong emotions has met with dire consequences, such kids exist in denial and bottle up their feelings inside without displaying them. They tend to present a trouble-free emotionally dead superficial personality.
