My house is my castle /jail

Parents watch TV set every day and mass media regularly informs us about the crimes, the death of children, juvenile delinquency, the problems with children health and many other terrible things that happen with children every day. Naturally, parents love their children and want to save them from the so cruel world full of danger. So they start to control all actions of their children even if they are teenagers already. In the result the sweet home turns into the awful jail for children and they escape from it. And sometimes the consequences may be even worse.
Children brought up in the atmosphere of total control are afraid of independence and responsibility and are very timid, weak, whining and delicate. Such children communicate with other children rarely and are incapable to live in the society. If you want your child to be like that, then make the total control.
But sometimes it is good to trust to your children. Of course it doesn't mean you mustn't control the child at all but give the child the possibility to make some decisions by itself and don't punish it too much if it didn't follow your order to come home at certain time. This was the first decision made by the child understanding the consequences of such decision. And this means the child becomes responsible and independent.
And if the child will know that parents always trust it, it will try not to disappoint parents. And the parents' house will always be the castle for it and not the jail with strict order.
