"A new study in the United Kingdom has found that children whose parents take a "tough love" approach are better prepared to achieve in life.

The research by think tank Demos tracked the lives of 9,000 families over eight years.

The head of the research team, Sonia Sodha, says the tough love style of parenting combines warmth and discipline, and is far more important in a child's success than parents' income or social background"

Finally they're getting around to agreeing with my way of looking at things.

Silly "experts"
 
Isn't this blatantly obvious?? Having parents that "are able to set rules, apply them consistently and fairly" are obviously gonna turn out better. And you're not gonna get someone who is going to be prepared to achieve in life if their spoiled rotten as a child.

You don't really need psychological research to know this crap, its common sense!

Often difficult if parent has no idea and all was interested in was continuation of welfare payment or 'baby bonus' recently.
