Within the domain of strictness, control is discovered,
A structured course that molds one's existence, uncovered,
Yet, unyielding boundaries can suppress life's current,
To fathom freedom's teachings, one must also be observant.

Across our homes, a widespread belief holds sway,
That being stern with children will make them obey,
To instill fear and prevent mistakes, some say,
But this approach can have a price we must weigh.

It's not about being right, this approach we cling to,
For unceasing sternness may bring shame into view,
GenZ aspires to discover, to renew,
To grasp fresh opportunities, their passions they pursue.

Don't grip the reins of control excessively,
Instead, lead them through both day and night, wisely,
Awaken their awareness to life's thrilling spree,
Teach them the harmony between wrong and right, gently.

Set aside the scoldings, refrain from harsh critique,
Be a shining light of comfort, compassionate and meek,
Encourage them to confide, their emotions to freely speak,
So they won't seek solace elsewhere, leaving them feeling weak.

Parents, pay attention, it's not about strict control,
But nurturing wisdom, allowing young hearts to extol,
In life's intricate dance, they'll evolve and unroll,
With your guidance, they'll flourish and their potential will console.

For a child, unburdened, to explore and to dream,
They'll navigate life's complex, winding stream,
With love and guidance, a powerful team,
Together, they'll rise in this diverse life's grand scheme.
