"Strict mothers were nearly five times more likely to raise tubby first-graders than mothers who treated their children with flexibility and respect while also setting clear rules."

That's all well and good, but being able to earn your kids respect whilst also setting clear rules is like nailing jelly to a wall. I can count the times I've achieved that with my son on one hand, if I'm honest.
