Sometimes strict parents can be a very good thing because it gives you the opportunity to learn to be aware and be careful and cautious. It's a pretty mean world out there. Sometimes being strict can be too much because if you overprotect then they are more apt to explore. Parenting is not for the squeamish it is a delicate balance that is very easily easily swayed one way or another. Give them some credit and I'm sure if you asked questions in an adult intelligent calm manner you will get answers to at least some of them. And I will say sometimes parenting is done by gut feelings and by the seat of your pants thoughts
